Well, for OpenIndiana there are FUSE and ntfs-3g packages, and they
do work on my laptop (a lot slower than native IO, and sometimes it
requires a directory to be read twice in MC to be visible, but it's
useable nonetheless). Instructions here:

I am not sure whether these packages can be directly installed on
OmniOS, or if you'd have to pull the sources and compile yourself...

While googling for an answer, I found a thread from beginning of the
year, about fixing some problems in FUSE. I am not sure if these are
now compiled and packaged in the repo...
