Oh yes, you can! As a side product of my attempt to restore data
from an UFS partition with orphaned inodes, I found some good
utilities that might be helpful fo you.

Check 'em out!
System:
dd
fsck_ffs
clri
fsdb
fetch -rR <device>
recoverdisk
Ports:
ddrescue
dd_rescue
ffs2recov
magicrescue
testdisk
The Sleuth Kit:
fls
dls
ils
autopsy
scan_ffs
recoverjpeg
fatback
Especially magicrescue can do wonders. If everything fails,
The Sleuth Kit is a good tool.
Don't forget to try mtools.
