In general, Spotlight wouldn't (and shouldn't be able to) index an sshfs disk [sic] by itself.
By default, MacFUSE disallows *anybody* (including root) except the user that mounted the volume from accessing the volume. Some Spotlight components run as root, so these components wouldn't be allowed access. You can use (hopefully judiciously) options like 'allow_other' and 'allow_root' to let other users access your MacFUSE volume. The security model around these options could use some documentation, so don't blame yourself if you can't figure out how to use these options. Thereafter, you should be able to get mdutil to enable indexing on the sshfs volume, or any other MacFUSE volume, assuming the volume allows proper creation of the "/.Spotlight-V100" directory and its constituents.
