make sure your ipod is formatted fat32 (HFS+ won't work) ..

make yourself a script which basically does this:

modprobe usb-storage
modprobe sd_mod
modprobe scsi_mod
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sd/ipod

you'll have to change the 'sda2' part to whatever it is on your ipod (the partition # may be different), and get the usb-modules package from the file archive (art103 has already packed these up for you to use).

works just fine, though. i use my datatank (jobo 60 gigs) with my gp2x a lot these days, quite easily .. and my ipod-mini works just fine as well, though i don't use it as much (its only 5 gigs compared to the 60 gig datatank..)

USB connector should be pretty easy to make, just buy an EXT connector (Samsung E810 to USB cable works), then buy a USB hub, splice them together using the right pins (art's site explains which pins go where), plug your new cable into your GP2X, load drivers, voila. They even make powered USB hubs but if you are using something like an IPod it has an internal battery so doesn't need any extra power.

I recently bought a 250 gig drive and an external powered hard drive enclosure and may attempt to hook it up to the GP2X.
