I don't remember wich version exactly (found it with portdowngrade), nor what were its problems. But, it was for work. We just wanted to be able to mount/write and format devices with ntfs partitions. And we weren't able to. It might be that I didn't think to try without libublio support (don't remember, I'm not even sure ublio is used in the first version). It may be usefull to get back the first version in ports, sure. But there's not that much things to adapt in the current version. The problem is that the person who made that port just copied the package from linux, without porting it. The modifications I made were very easy to find out, every C developer should be able to do them quickly, putting some printf. I don't have FreeBSD at home, I'm just working on it at office. And patchin= g ArchLinux at home. I might not be able to finish patching ntfsprogs2 to make it completly work on FreeBSD. The good news is that, with my patch to ntfslib, ntfsresize should now be able to get the geometry of a device. Maybe that was its only problem, and so it's working again? I'll give it a try next monday.
