AFAIK, that list is still viable in Panther:

baltwo$ cat /.hidden
automount
bin
cores
Desktop DB
Desktop DF
Desktop Folder
dev
etc
lost+found
mach
mach_kernel
mach.sym
opt
private
sbin
tmp
Trash
usr
var
VM Storage
Volumes

Now, whether or not, editing and deleting some item makes it visible, I
don't know. Give it a shot and report back. If not, you can always use
something like TinkerTool to make all files/folders visible.
