Not easily, no-- by design, root has complete access to the system.   
If you don't trust the other users, then they simply should not have  
root access to the machine.

It's perhaps possible to create an encrypted file which you'd mount  
via "mdconfig -t vnode -f _file_" once you've supplied another  
password...
