> Is it possible to mount an ext2 drive on freebsd? 

Yes. You'll have to build a custom kernel with the EXT2FS option
enabled. Note the warning in LINT:

# Add support for the EXT2FS filesystem of Linux fame.  Be a bit
# careful with this - the ext2fs code has a tendency to lag behind
# changes and not be exercised very much, so mounting read/write could
# be dangerous (and even mounting read only could result in panics.)

There have been periods when file systems built on current Linux
kernels couldn't be mounted.
