No, and it wouldn't be of any use to you since Samba would still see it
as a POSIX file system.

OTOH, Samba has some rudimentary support for ACLs (it's a built-time
option) and UFS2 has ACL support by default, though it needs to be
enabled in fstab (see mount(8)), so depending on how convoluted are your
requirements, it might or might not work.
