AFAIK freebsd supports uid and gid mounting, havent tried it myself but have seen it being done. In linux however I used to set perms on my mount directory for windows to something like 700 so only root could poke around the directory tree underneath as the drive would not be mounted permanently as I only have to deal with FreeBSD or ext2 drives personally:). Ironic as Im composing this a mail came through saying man mount_msdos would help, give it a look.
