yes it is free, unless you have macos on that same partition then 
there are macos bootblocks there.

dd if=/dev/hda4 of=/tmp/hfsblock bs=1024 count=1
dd if=/dev/hda8 of=/tmp/ext2block bs=1024 count=1

$ cmp /tmp/hfsblock /tmp/ext2block
$

no difference at all.

hda4 is a empty hfs partition with no macos
hda8 is a ext2fs not the root partition and such no boot blocks 
installed (quik or otherwise)
