I'd guess not. 
More likely thats the support for NFS which contains lots of cute
subroutines prefixed with the letters rfs and appropriate error messages. 
rfs doesnt stand for ATT RFS in this case, just remote file system. 

You can check this out by repeating that operation or 
nm /vmunix | grep -i rfs
on a Sun without  RFS, i.e. running pre-4.1 or running 4.1 without RFS 
kernel support. You'll see lots of RFS symbols.
