Not traditionally. What Jews are commanded to put on their "doorposts" is the primary prayer, sometimes called the "watchwords", of the Jewish faith, the "Shema" - "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One - Praised be God's name forever and ever" and the extended portions of it where the command is made and that you can find at: http://www.jewfaq.org/prayer/shema.htm

The words are supposed to be on parchment (although paper often is used) scroll (very small) that is placed into a small case. While the word Mezuzah means "doorposts" it has come to mean the case itself. Some mezuzah cases may have the Hebrew letters that also are the numbers 1 through 10 as a decoration that makes one think of the 10 commandments, or the shape of two stone tablets, etc., but that is all they are -- decorations.

Do Jews and christians both believe in the 10 commandments?

Jews refer to the 10 statements, since not all of them are in the form of commandments. Traditionally, Jews consider themselves to be bound by the 613 commandments found in the Torah, all of which tradition holds were revealed by God and written down by Moses while on Mount Sinai. The 10 statements etched on the stone tablets are seen as a symbol of the 613. The Christian understanding of the role of the 10 commandments is colored by the idea that these were the heart of the old covenant, and that the coming of Jesus instituted a new covenant. There are several different Christian models of the relationship between these covenants; in some, the new covenant supersedes the old, in others, both remain in force.
