although there's a BSDL version in the FreeBSD kernel that could probably be ported.
The ext2 driver in FreeBSD isn't very actively maintained, tends to lag behind the rest of the kernel, and has been the cause of various problems like panics and VFS lockups in the past. It's not recommended for serious read-write use.
Really the only platform to have good ext2 support is Linux. Honestly a least-common-denominator UFS variant would probably be usable by more systems due to Mac OS X.
