O.K., I managed to build cdrtools on mingw, too.
(I´ll send the patch later, it is not complete yet)
We should change "memcpy(dev, argv[1], sizeof(argv[1]));" at 
line 37 in himdformat_scg.c to "strcpy(dev, argv[1]);",
else the last char will be truncated.
You can format you himd walkman as followed:

1) use cdrecord -scanbus   to find your walkman
    The entry should look like this:
        scsibus 6:
                      6,0,0  600> 'SONY    ' 'Hi-MD WALKMAN'   ' '1000' Removable Disk    

2) then use ./himdformat_scg 6,0,0   to format you MD
    This works fine in Windows, so I think it should work on mac/linux, too.
