Subject: Can linux swap partition be used as freebsd swap?

I have both FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE and 
Slackware Linux installed on my laptop.  I use FreeBSD
more frequently as it is a much better OS overall, but
due to the limited size of this laptop's hard disk, I
would like to make use of the linux swap partition as
additional swap space for FreeBSD (in addition to the
FreeBSD swap slice). 

I've already looked at the Linux+FreeBSD mini-HOWTO,
but that document only addresses how to use FreeBSD
swap from within Linux, and not vice-versa.

Is it possible to do this (use linux swap partition as
additional swap space for FreeBSD), and can anyone
point to any additional documentation?
