Yes, it is possible.
I've used sshfs in fstab, set up so I could "mount ~/remote-site".

If the wrapper is smart enough, there isn't.
Of course, that qualifier is a big one.

If I were doing it, I would
* disallow -t fuse (if it's set up in /etc/fstab so as to allow users,
that's OK)
Perhaps one could even disallow "-t" entirely, and rely on autodetection.
* disallow mounting at any directory not owned by or writeable by the user.
Perhaps this could be moderated by ...except that any user can mount
under /media, if they're not overmounting.

I suppose that the second point forces use of a suid helper, rather than
the use of sudo.

Alternately, you could write a wrapper that *always* mounts under
/media, and doesn't accept -t; it just takes a device name, creates an
equivalent name under /media, checks type and whether ntfs-3g is installed,
and passes a suitable type to mount (or uses mount.ntfs-3g).
