For information about those files you can check “man mount” (look for
the “-t” option) and “man filesystems” (by the way I thought there was
a page dealing with /etc/filesystems in BLFS or LFS but I cannot find
any).

Short answer: no (but I guess some minimal systems can live without it).
I guess you are missing either the /proc file system support kernel
option (in my 2.6 kernel’s “make menuconfig”: File systems →
Pseudo filesystems → /proc file system support), or the “proc” entry in
your /etc/fstab file, something like:
   proc  /proc  proc  defaults  0  0

You don’t have to. I’m using ntfs-3g with a monolithic kernel and have
no problems. Just check for File systems → FUSE support.
