The gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8 kernel has read-only support for UFS2.

Just wanted to add, you might also need to enable:

File Systems => Partition Types => Advanced partition selection => PC BIOS
(MSDOS partition tables) support => BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables)
support

in your kernel config. It's been a long time since I've needed to do this, so
I cannot recall if enabling the above option was necessary.
