I assume you're talking about a UFS partition. I wanted to do the same
recently and while OS X should support UFS, I've found that there are two
flavors of UFS that differ in endianness. FreeBSD uses little endian and OS
X uses big, even on Intel. I have not found a way to share data between OS
X and FreeBSD using UFS.

Now that Zevo [1] is available though, you could use ZFS, though I imagine
the issue is that the data is already on a UFS partition and you're hoping
to recover that data.
