This error message comes from the MacFUSE library, not Fuse4X, so it
sounds like you still have a copy of MacFUSE around and your sshfs is
linked against that.

I would start by checking the following:
 - make sure you're actually using sshfs from MacPorts: `which sshfs`
   should return /opt/local/bin/sshfs
 - make sure your sshfs is linked against the right libfuse.
   `otool -L /opt/local/bin/sshfs` should list
   /opt/local/lib/libfuse.2.dylib, among other libraries
 - make sure that library is installed by the fuse4x port:
   `port provides /opt/local/lib/libfuse.2.dylib` should indicate that
   it's provided by fuse4x.
