As long as you operate under VFR, you can get yourself current again with
just a safety pilot (unless the safety pilot is able and willing to act as
PIC under IFR).

At which point he's not a safety pilot, he's the pilot in command.
Safety pilots only have regulatory menaing for simulated instrument
flight.

Isn't that what Roy already said by saying "willing to act as PIC"?

Sorry, just being overly pedantic. When he "willing acts as PIC in IFR
conditions" he isn't a safety pilot anymore.

But if someone else is PIC, can the "copilot" count the approaches
toward currency?

Yes.

That is, if by "copilot" you mean the pilot flying - the one with his
hands on the controls, whether or not he has the final authority for the
flight.
