Okay, here's an update:
Creating a symlink from /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g to /sbin/mount_ntfs-3g
does not work (as posted before on the ntfs-3g forum message below).
I, then, added the following ntfsmount startup script to
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/:
----------
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: ntfsmount
# REQUIRE: fusefs
. /etc/rc.subr
name="ntfsmount"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows && ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1
/mnt/windows -o locale=en_US.UTF-8"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
----------
Then, chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntfsmount (to make it executable),
then added ntfsmount_enable="YES" to my /etc/rc.conf, then rebooted. I
did not see any error messages during boot, but the partition was not
mounted ('mount' returns nothing after logging in).
However, if I run 'ntfs-3g' again from the command prompt to mount the
windows partition, 'mount' now shows /mnt/windows THREE times, like
/dev/fuse1 on /mnt/windows (fusefs, local, noatime, synchronous)
/dev/fuse3 on /mnt/windows (fusefs, local, noatime, synchronous)
/dev/fuse5 on /mnt/windows (fusefs, local, noatime, synchronous)
and 'ls /dev/f*' returns
/dev/fuse0 /dev/fuse1 /dev/fuse2 /dev/fuse3 /dev/fuse4
/dev/fuse5
It seems that since the 'ntfs-3g' command ran twice in the ntfsmount
script, running 'ntfs-3g' again from the command prompt makes the
third mount point. But if its two runs in the startup script were
successful, why would 'mount' not show the mount points until I run it
again from the command prompt?
I even tried removing one of the 'ntfs-3g' commands in the ntfsmount
script, i.e.
----------
command="ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows -o locale=en_US.UTF-8"
----------
Rebooting with this, still 'mount' shows nothing after logging in.
However, if I run 'ntfs-3g' from the command prompt now, I get TWO
/mnt/windows mount points (instead of three). So it seems the all the
runs in the script are successful and the partition is mounted, but
the mount point is not available until I run 'ntfs-3g' again from the
command prompt.
I am using
fusefs-kmod-0.3.0_5
fusefs-libs-2.6.4
fusefs-ntfs-1.417_2
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks :)

I have the same problem. A little search got me to
http://forum.ntfs-3g.org/viewtopic.php?t=292 where a solution is posted. It
seems that using /etc/fstab to mount the NTFS partition at boot time is not
working since the mount command is being executed before the 'fuse' kernel
module is loaded. However, on my 6.2-RELEASE machine, I see the following
message when booting:

I'm assuming that this "late" mount (the last line above) is being done after
loading the 'fuse' kernel module, so the OS should be able to mount the file system now,
but it can't! It's looking for mount_ntfs-3g and that file does not exist.
My /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g
rw 0 0
I also used the /etc/fstab entry suggested in NTFS-3G's own website ( http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ -
scroll down to the end of the page), where "defaults" is being used instead of
"rw", but that gave me this error:
