There have been different possibilites to mount Linux Ext2/Ext3 volumes in the Mac OS X Finder:

Enter fuse-ext2, a new similar project which indeed does work with recent distros, both in Mac OS X 10.4.x and 10.5.x, on Intel and PowerPC machines. It also works with VMware Fusion virtual disks. So far, it's been reliable in read-only mode, but in the future, there should be better read-write support and also a preference pane to control it.

Note that it requires MacFUSE to work. Promising, indeed...
