Comment(by markus.doits@…):

 alright, i got it to work. there were different things.

 1. the patch above is working: the volname-option is successfully appended
 to the mount options.

 2. you have to use "-o local,auto_xattr" in addition to the patch to show
 the volume in finder

 3. because of auto_xattr, i think the extended attributes of ntfs-3g
 should be disabled by "-o streams_interface=none" (which is obviously a
 drawback if you need them).

 See https://code.google.com/p/macfuse/issues/detail?id=370 that directed
 me to the solution (and also why i think "streams_interface=none" should
 be used - but i have to little knowledge of ntfs(-3g) and macfuse if it is
 really necessary)

 I'm now using a special "mount_ntfs"-shell-script with the provided
 volname-patch - and my ntfs-automounts show up in finder.

 Anyone with some knowledge about filesystems/ntfs-3g/macfuse can say
 something this approach? Is "streams_interface=none" really needed?

 I could think of this solution provided as port-variants of ntfs-3g
 ("+auto_mount=enables auto_mount by ntfs-3g", "+show_in_finder=shows
 mounts in finder BUT disables ntfs xattr")
