Hey,
I'm new to bsd too.
Here's my contribution: :)

To install NTFS-3G from ports:
First make sure you have the freebsd source code.
Then login as root.

Go to: /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs
Then type:
#: make install clean

To use it you have to load first the kernel module by typing:
#: kldload
Then mount the ntfs partition using:

#: ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows

That's it.
