Hello.
A) Do NOT (or only read-only) mount the disk slice that "contains" the deleted data.
If you do not have separated system/user slices on your disk you'll have a problem doing so.
B) There are recovery tools for NTFS/FAT file systems that can do what you need. I know some internals of the UFS file system (Sparc and X86) and I think it is not difficult to write such a tool for UFS. For this reason I think it may be available anywhere on the market.
