Looks good so far.

To be expected.

Correct.

Yes, it can. Examine the error message closely: "failed to open
fuse device". Do you have

	fuse_enable="YES"

in /boot/loader.conf - or kldload'ed the corresponding module?
I think this is what's missing.

By the way, your first mount attempt should (for diagnostic
purposes) always be read-only:

	# ntfs-3g -r /dev/da0s1 /mnt

For reading files, this is sufficient anyway. ;-)
