You have two choices:
One: put it on a file system that both Linux and FreeBSD
understand. As far as I know, that's either ext2 or fat32. I don't
recommend that, as you'll take a performance hit in doing so, and may
take a stability hit as well.
The other alternative is to save the data in an archive on a different
disk. Then reformat the ext3 file system as ffs under freebsd, and
extract the archive into it. Tar would be the unix archive format,
but bzip2 will probably take less space.
