The 'bf' utility should get you close.  It only takes logical block
numbers, and gives you inode numbers, but it's easy enough to convert
from physical sectors or cyl/trk/sec, and once you have the inode it's
a simple matter of using 'find -inum nnn' to get the filename.

I believe I obtained this from ohio-state; the man page says it was
written by Brant Cheikes so that seems likely.
