Perhaps my sequence of actions wasn't clear. Here is what I did --

1. installed MacFuse by downloading it, double clicking, installing
2. installed MacPorts sshfs and sshfs-gui using `sudo port install <portname>`
3. $`sshfs` failed to work. Console showed that MacFuse failed to load because 
of wrong architecture
4. Saw ticket #30639
5. uninstalled MacFuse
6. uninstalled sshfs and sshfs using `sudo port uninstall <portname>`
7. installed Fuse4x by downloading it, double clicking, installing
8. reinstalled MacPorts sshfs

still got the above message

Looked in /System/Library/FileSystems and found fuse4x stuff in it... good.
Looked in /Library/FileSystems, made sure there was nothing related to MacFuse 
in it... good.

repeated #6-8 above. Still got the above message.

9. installed sshfs from Fuse4x web site. That got installed in /usr/local/bin. 
Everything works now.
