The ability to read ext2 file systems is included, but it is not the ext2 file system itself. You cannot create and write to ext2 file systems with FreeBSD.
This is wrong. You can create (install the e2fsprogs port) and write to ext2 file systems just fine with FreeBSD.
ext2 support is not compiled into the default (GENERIC) kernel, however (i.e. you have to recompile your kernel to get ext2 support).

Now, somehow the following Monty Python song did come to my mind...
All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.
Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom,
He made their horrid wings.
All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.
Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid,
Who made the spiky urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did.
All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.
Amen.
