Besides porting the FreeBSD NTFS driver (which allows only read-only access
IIRC), you could try to port FUSE to DragonFly.  With NTFS-3g there is an
excellent FUSE-driver for reading/writing NTFS available.  Looking into the
pkgsrc port (filesystems/fuse) and FreeBSD specific patches could be a
starting point.
