Mounting the fs in two steps, as follows, worked for me.

# mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/sda4 /mnt
# mount -orw,remount /dev/sda4 /mnt

However, it requires your UFS support to have been built with the
UFS_FS_WRITE at (Linux kernel) compile time (bUFS file system write
supportb, only available if bPrompt for development and/or incomplete
code/driversb is enabled) which is --as far as my experience goes-- not
the case by default with many distros. You may need to recompile your
module and/or kernel.
