* MacFUSE has to go out of its way to make the Finder and Disk Arbitration happy. If you want to bypass that behavior, you can you the 'noping_diskarb' mount-time option. If you traverse to the mount point later from the UI, the Finder will be a bit confused about the mount point. You don't have the option of bypassing the Finder altogether. The Finder is a user application, that can be told to go to a certain directory, after all.
* What do you mean by "just compiling FUSE under Mac OS"? FUSE is an API (a specification), with an implementation for Linux, another for BSD, another for Mac OS X (MacFUSE), and so on. It is a *file system*, and much of it lives in the kernel. You can't "just compile" a file system across different operating systems. You have to *reimplement*. Most people use the term "porting", but to be pedantic, porting usually implies starting from a given code base, making some typically not-so-major modifications, and recompiling. MacFUSE is not a port in this respect: it's a different implementation of a given specification.
