In general, no.
Running the "mount" program will work for simple cases (e.g.
"mount <dir>" where <dir> is in /etc/fstab) on most Unix systems.
Beyond that, the names of devices, the types of filesystem which are
supported, etc, are all highly platform specific.

Do you mean something like the mount command in Busybox ? It has been
ported for PPC , ARM , MIPS and many more architectures .
Thanks,

Maybe I need to look into the source for Busybox and see what they do.
What I was looking for though is a portable group of functions similar
in fucntion to the Linux mount() in sys/mount.h
