I think a virtual node is the way to do this. Example:

	# mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 0 -f something.iso
	# mount -o ro -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt

	...

	# umount /mnt
	# mdconfig -d -u 0

By the way, the Midnight Commander can "open" an .iso image
like a directory (or an archive), and you can use it to
navigate inside the file. Very convenient tool. :-)
