Yes, it does, NTFS-3G maps them to NTFS's alternate data streams. For 
security xattrs there's a way to map NTFS permissions to POSIX ACLs as 
well, but I haven't even verified if libfuse-hurd implements extended 
attributes in the first place, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. :) 
We're a long way from booting from NTFS...
