the only difference between ybin and mkofboot is mkofboot zeros the bootstrap partition before doing the same things as ybin (they are the same program). it will not erase all your mac partitions unless you have in your yaboot.conf: boot=/dev/hda or boot=/dev/macospartition as long as boot= points to your 800K Apple_Bootstrap partition your perfectly safe.
