FreeBSD has limited support for ext2, therefore you can mount it as ext2 
filesystem only. You can "convert" the filesystem between ext2 and ext3 
without data loss by just executing fsck. Run fsck.ext2 from the 
"e2fsprogs" package first. Now you can mount it with mount_ext2fs and 
access data. Finally after you have unmounted it you need run fsck.ext3 
to recreate the filesystem journal.

In case you get used to use linux fdisk, you might get lucky with the 
ncurses based program cfdisk-linux from the "linuxfdisk" package. ;-)
