Very few people in the past have run both OS's at the same time, since keeping up with the development of one is difficult enough. Second of all, both camps feel that their file-system is superior to the FS of the other camp. However, John Dyson recently imported his port of the Ext2FS to FreeBSD into the FreeBSD-current tree, so you should be able to mount Linux FS's under FreeBSD now.
