What? You can do it quite easily with an add action RUN= that runs a
shell script that mkdirs a suitable directory and runs mount (and a
corresponding remove action that unmounts and rmdirs).

(disclaimer: I don't actually do this myself because right now my only
removable device is an iPod, which it is often desirable to plug into
the USB port without mounting.)
