I doubt so, as IBM hasn't released the detailed information on the structure
and the algorithm used to allocate and write blocks on, as well as fsck'ing
the HPFS. There is a HPFS-Readonly driver for Linux available - reading
is easier. You could take it as a possibly unreliable, reference how to
write a similar FS driver for *BSD (BTW: hasn't this been done already 
at least for FreeBSD some time ago, or am I wrong?)
There are shareware drivers for DOS that allow writing, but I
think they have been reverse-engineered from the OS/2 IFS driver.

Eventually some far time in the future, I'll write the inverse thing,
an UFS.IFS for OS/2.
