Is it possible to have an ext2 filesystem on /?

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find any details after a bit of
searching.

Two issues come to my inexperienced mind.  There is the trouble of
booting the kernel. GRUB can grok ext2 so I could use that (or at
least, I could probably hack GRUB till it can boot FreeBSD again). But
before that there is probably going to be a problem building the
kernel. Does anybody have any experience doing a cross compile from
Linux?
