The kernel sources suggest that the following may work if you have ufs
support compiled into your kernel:

   mount -t ufs -o ufstype=hp /dev/sd{whatever} /mnt

It would be unportable if type "hfs" as Martin Peterson suggests works. 
The "hfs" filesystem type in the standard Linux kernel represents an
Apple Macintosh filesystem.
