Also untested, but possible, if you want it to happen
"system-wide": Add a section to /etc/rc.local:

	echo -n " sshfs"
	/usr/local/bin/sshfs <your parameters>

And to /etc/rc.shutdown.local:

	echo -n " sshfs"
	umount <where it was mounted to>

Note that you can add additional configuration tweaks by
using the rc.conf mechanism, and you can also add tests
to increase reliability.
