I just did a test, you can mount a DMG file over an FTP session. You
get a warning dialog when you try to do it though, it basically lets
you know that you'll be mounting it over your FTP link and that
performance won't be great, but it mounts the DMG on the local
filesystem (in /Volumes) which leads me to believe that if it was
hostile you'd get owned up.

Luckily, I don' t think there's anyway to force an automount over the
FTP link.
