No, absolute no.

Ok I hear from gpart for the first time, but gpart ist GPL and cannot
placed in the base distribution. Scan_ffs is a standard tool from
the OpenBSD distribution and BSD license.

I dont know if gpart does recognize UFS2 superblocks or if gpart
is able to recover the BSD disklabel.
