As far as I know: You'll need to uncompress it, after that you can
loop-mount it, so:
sudo mount -o loop rootfs.ext2 mountpoint

If you check with 'mount' afterwards, you should see sth. like this:
...
/dev/loop0 on mountpoint type ext2 (rw)

avfs (http://avf.sourceforge.net/) might work with compressed image, not
tested though.
