I didn't have any problems mounting a NetBSD 1.4-created filesystem on
FreeBSD 3.3 (scsi disks, though but that shouldn't make a difference).
The FreeBSD kernel spat some lines on my console log concerning non-aligned
partitioning but that was all and everything worked well.  This is just to
say that it is certainly possible to mount NetBSD partitions on FreeBSD
read-write.
If the fbsd disklabel output on netbsd disks looks odd, ignore it.
Just try to mount, it should work ok.

No, except some alignment stuff, the disklabels themselves are the same
4BSD on-disk layout I would think.
