Is it the "done thing" in FreeBSD for normal users to mount CD-ROMs 
in a local directory rather than /cdrom? 

As a normal user all I get is this:

  localuser > mount /cdrom 
  cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Operation not permitted

despite changing the permissions on both the CD-ROM device and /cdrom
to 660 and ensuring the local user is in the relevant groups

I can mount CD-ROMs in a directory owned by the normal user.

I ask because in Linux, /cdrom is generally useable as a mount point
by all users. It's not a problem, just wondering.

For reference: 

the relevant line in /etc/fstab:

  /dev/acd0c              /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0

vfs.usermount is set to 1, and yes, I have read this page:
