Kris, thanks *very much*. Where can I send $beverage?
For the archives:
1. Install port mentioned above.
2. ntfscat -fv /dev/ad3s2 important.bkf > /usr/recovered.bkf
3. restore as per Windows SOP.
So, "ntfscat" is able to handle large file operations (>2GB) in FreeBSD,
operations that seem to fail with mount_ntfs and standard 'Nix tools
(cat, cp, cpio, tar, dd, etc).
Important: I've not yet verified that the disk is still readable
by Windows, but since the data's off, I'm not sure I care, and
Windows wasn't seeing it properly anyway. A reformat should
do the trick. YMMV.
