I've never made a bootable OS 7/8/9 CD in Mac OS X before either. You should be able to copy an existing CD or burn a bootable image, but making something custom in Mac OS X that's still bootable seems to be at least very difficult.

Within OS X its getting difficult as long as You need a classic system as a minimum. To be honest: I never managed to get a bootable installation CD from OS X because You need to install a "system for all Macs" on a disk image - and a G5 or Intel Mac simply refuses to start this operation because of CPU incompatibilities. So I fear You do have to use at least a dual boot machine.
Nevertheless this guide should be of some help if You fail to use Toast (in fact that Toast functionality never worked very well for me):
