I saw THIS in an article on Lifehack. Seems that ntfs3g also works on Macs.

Fascinating, thanks!

I do note this warning:

After installing ntfs-3g, all NTFS drives will disappear from the "Startup Disk" preference pane. Disabling or uninstalling ntfs-3g brings them back. It seems that this issue can't be solved, but only worked around since the Startup Disk preference pane doesn't recognize file system drivers that are not provided by Apple.
But since my BootCamp XP partition is FAT32, not NTFS, I might get away with it. Cool!
