This assumes you're running 5.3-stable or 6.x-current. I am not sure how well snapshots would work on 4.x-stable.
Not at all, unfortunately. snapshots are a UFS2 feature only available in 5.x or above.
However, sys-admins have been making backups without the benefit of snapshots for decades: usually if you can arrange for anything that uses the partition to be quiescent or turned off while the backup is being run, you should succeed.
