Comment(by greg@…):

 I found this article which has a script for mount-ntfs that automounts
 NTFS-3g volumes on the desktop and in the Finder sidebar (with a minor
 caveat):

 [http://fernandoff.posterous.com/ntfs-write-support-on-osx-lion-with-ntfs-
 3g-f]

 It does work, as I tested it with April's NTFS-3g release. Unfortunately,
 installing Fuse4x and NTFS-3g with MacPorts doesn't work as well as the
 Tuxera 10-2010 release. Specifically, copying a folder from one volume to
 another with the Finder only copies the folder, not the contents (not
 recursive). Which makes it pretty worthless for me. Also, the finder
 reports the format as "Unknown(fuse4x)" so fuse4x is not providing the
 finder with the "NTFS" descriptor - is NTFS-3g providing that to fuse4x?

 All free NTFS-3g solutions are incredibly slow compared to the paid
 solutions.
