It was one of the first things I checked.  From fstab's man page:
            "ext2fs  A local Linux compatible ext2fs filesystem."

So, it is, in principle, supported.  But maybe there is a package missing?
See the context below in which newfs gives the error.

  $ dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.img bs=512 count=2880
  $ vnconfig svnd0 floppy.img
  $ vnconfig -l
  vnd0: covering floppy.img on wd0h, inode 41221
  vnd1: not in use
  vnd2: not in use
  vnd3: not in use
  $ newfs -t ext2 -f 1440 /dev/svnd0c
  newfs: newfs_ext2 not found: No such file or directory
  $ newfs -t ext2fs -f 1440 /dev/svnd0c
  newfs: newfs_ext2fs not found: No such file or directory
