getmntent() isn't in any standard I know about. IMHO, getting
information about mounted filesystems will always be system dependent.

It's more of a de-facto standard, inherited from System V but not part of SVID and successors. Between Linux/glibc and Solaris you have a goodly chunk of the GHC-relevant world.

*BSD and Mac OS X should look at getmntinfo(); I suspect that'll be painful to get at via the FFI, though.
