 man mount:

 x-mount.mkdir[=mode]

        Allow  to  make  a target directory (mountpoint).  The
        optional argument mode specifies the filesystem access mode
        used for mkdir(2) in octal notation.   The default  mode  is
        0755.  This functionality is supported only for root users.


 ... so:

        mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/foo -o x-mount.mkdir
