I implemented the suggested declares solution in a module and it works
great for CD-ROMs and USB devices I've mounted. However my external
FireWire drive (which can be safely unmounted in the Finder) does not
show as being ejectable. Anybody happen to know why that might be the
case?

This information is not hard to retrieve for MacOS.  You call
PBHGetVolParmsSync.  You test the extended attributes field of the
GetVolParmsInfoBuffer struct passed.  The volume is ejectable when
bit 0 is set.  The Volumes section of chapter 4 of my declares book
has an example that calls PBHGetVolParmsSync.
