No. You can neither access ZFS nor UFS in that way. Only one
host can mount the file system at the same time (read/write or
read-only doesn't matter here).

If you don't want to use NFS, you can use QFS in such a configuration.
The shared writer approach of QFS allows mounting the same file system
on different hosts at the same time.
