Mount NTFS from base system?

Is there anything in FreeBSD base system to mount an NTFS partition read-only?

I thought it was there, but couldn't find anything, searched for "ntfs" under "man mount".

Or is it necessary to build sysutils/fusefs-ntfs from ports even for read-only access?

There actually is /sbin/mount_ntfs in NetBSD, at least newer versions, good for reading, not so good for writing, and I thought there was something in FreeBSD like that.

I looked in the kernel configs, including GENERIC and NOTES, found no NTFS.
