Grub2 is the default boot loader for Linux system, at least for this system, a workaround isn't an option.

Boot Loaders are rapidly evolving. My understanding is that Grub 1 does not handle gpt tables but Grub 2 will. A third boot loader, syslinux, will also handle gpt tables.
I am not sure about lilo. If you install Arch Linux you actually get the option to use any of the four boot loader's or none at all if you already have a boot loader installed.
The BSD's all have their own boot loaders and my understanding is that they are all different. I believe the FreeBSD 9.0 bootloader will multiboot and on a recent install for me went into a hard drive with a gpt table.
