There is ntfs code in FreeBSD 4.0-current that allows local NT filesystems
to be read.  If you want to mount NT filesystems over the network, 
maybe vmount from http://digo.inf.elte.hu/~szoli/ could help.

Sure.  I've used it on several systems, although the boot manager shows
the NTFS as "HPFS" or "???".

Sure.  See the FAQ: http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ122.html
