There are a few things you can do, each of them a bit dangerous:

1: Upgrade the 4.X machine.

2: Hack around the 4.X kernel to get minimal UFS1 support, diffing
the UFS code bases would help here but this is still dangerous.

3: Try to find a utility which could do the conversion (I don't
know of one).

4: Re-newfs the disk and recopy your data.

Sorry for the bad news Brandon.  :(
