ntfs-3g must be installed from ports first

The mount_ntfs in older versions of FreeBSD was read-only and very
dated. Fuse it self does not mount anything, it just provides a
framework to write file system drivers with. A fuse file system will
always require the support of an external program, like ntfs-3g or cryptofs

Documentation for those comes with the port, not the base system
