Yes, if there is a fuse module, that shouldn't be too hard to get working.
If there is something missing in the FreeBSD fuse interface it needs, I might
be able to help with that, since I have done a few fuse patches (for the kernel
interface that uses the module, not the module itself).

I've never tested the FreeBSD NFSv4.1 client against a Windows server
(to be honest, I didn't know they supported one  until now;-), but I might
be able to help if go this route and have problems with the mounts.

Good luck with it, rick
