Well, I recall it was the only GPL'd filesystem that survived SMP but
apart from that, the fs format is not really used anymore, it didn't 
have much sense to keep it.

As pointed out by Conrad, sysutils/fusefs-lkl is the way to go.

And then ... IANAL, but given the situation in other camps it seems
sane to keep away from anything involving the words "GPL" and 
"filesystems" in the same sentence.
