This doesn't quite answer your question, but it may provide a workaround...
If you are using an application like Prove It! which launches an
application when classic starts up to set your video card LUT, it does not
put the Video Card Gamma Tag ('vcgt') into your profile. This means that
selecting that profile will not change your video card LUT.
However, there is a little application that comes with the ColorSync SDK for
programmers called "ProfileGammaTagger" that will allow you to save the
'vcgt' tag into your profile. I'm not sure if you can download the built
binary, you may have to compile it with CodeWarrior. Someone from Apple may
want to point out where to get the binary from.
Run it in classic after running the Prove It! startup app. It will prompt
you to select a profile to add the Video Card Gamma Tag to. After selecting
a profile, you can then select the gamma table to add it it. After saving,
restart into Mac OS X, and select the profile you saved the tag into. You
now have a Mac OS X compatible profile. I can't tell you whether using this
method is as effective as using the startup app. It certainly appears so,
and it works for me.
