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.
