Mounting Shared Directory in VirtualBox FreeBSD Guest

I've set up FreeBSD-RC4 under VirtualBox by following the instructions in the Handbook. X11 is running in seamless mode with the host system (also FreeBSD), so I know I've installed the guest additions successfully. But I'm getting an error upon attempting to mount shared folders. kldstat indicates that the required modules are loaded in the guest.
Code: 
#mount -t vboxfs shared /mnt
#Operation not supported by device
The shared folder works just fine with other guest OSes (Windows 7 and Arch Linux). Googling is giving contradictory information regarding whether vboxfs is supported or not. Has anyone here successfully mounted shared folders in a VirtualBox FreeBSD guest with vboxfs?
 
Shared folders are not yet supported with FreeBSD guests. Depending on the host, network methods like scp(1), NFS, or even SMB can be used to share files.
 
If you're running on a Windows host I highly recommend the PuTTY and WinSCP combination.
