Strange.  This has been changed a while ago:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sbin/mount_msdosfs/Makefile.diff?r1=1.17&r2=1.18

and the only mount_msdos binary that I have in my system is a rather
stale copy from Oct 9 2002 (boy, I need to clean up this installation
one of these days):

giorgos@gothmog[00:11]/home/giorgos$ ls -lT /sbin/mount_msdos*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  - 183776 Oct  9 15:45:24 2002 /sbin/mount_msdos
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  - 378172 Jan 22 18:47:00 2003 /sbin/mount_msdosfs
