It really depends on what you want to achieve.

If it's okay that the (local) root directory of said filesystem is 
(co-)owned by the wheel group, then:

mount /filesystem, run 
chgrp wheel /filesystem, and finally run
chmod g+w /filesystem

Maybe you should look into POSIX ACLs, etc if you are looking for 
something more advanced.
