udisksctl is close to pmount, but it is less convenient due to more verbose arguments and inability to explicitly specify mount point name.

There are issues with pmount, but I believed it is able to handle removable attribute of block devices.

For automount like in GNOME you either need a helper that may run independently of desktop environment (Arch wiki page lists some tools, but I have never tried them) or you may experiment with udev rules or systemd.automount(5) units.
