It seems it isn't currently possible.

A possible workaround for some scenarios is explained at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mac-os-x-read-ext3-ext4-external-usb-hard-disk-partition/

Try MacFuse with ext4fuse. If you want it to be risk-free, mount it read-only or duplicate the partition first.

You might be able to do it by running Linux in a Virtualbox VM. Only thing you'd stand to lose is time configuring and installing (And space on the drive). Certainly won't hurt the Mac to try it.
