I didn't!! but now I have. (I thought installing ext4fuse would have 
taken care of that but apparently not).

root at host0:/# ext4fuse /dev/md2 /mnt <-- just in case
Partition doesn't contain EXT4 filesystem

root at host0:/# ext4fuse /dev/md2s1 /mnt <--WORKS!! but read-only

root at host0:/# umount /mnt

root at host0:/# ext4fuse /dev/md2s2 /mnt
Partition doesn't contain EXT4 filesystem

root at host0:/# ext4fuse /dev/md2s5 /mnt
Partition doesn't contain EXT4 filesystem

Is there a way of mounting an ext4 fs for editing (i.e RW) on freebsd?

many thanks,
