Sorry it took so long to get an answer.  I think ext2fs can be mounted
writable, but ext3fs only read-only.  (I think it does so by reading
ext3 as if it were ext2, by virtue of of its forward compatibility, but
is unable to interpret/modify the journal to do any writes).

I'm not aware of any support for ext4fs yet either in upstream FreeBSD's
kernel or Debian's.

http://wiki.debian.org/Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD_FAQ#Q._Can_I_share_partitions_between_GNU.2BAC8-Linux_and_GNU.2BAC8-kFreeBSD.3F

Although much in that FAQ looks out-of-date already for Wheezy.
