YES, just tested it and it works.
Well, I've got it working under 10.1. Here's the deal.

1. Get the rpc.pcnfsd source from SUN.
2. Get the RPC4.0 source from an info-server (uunet).
3. Compile the RPC stuff (you need to add -Dmc68000 to the
   compilations in order to get things to compile).
4. Install the RPC stuff (be wary, it overwrites the
   Apollo /etc/portmap !). 
5. Compile rpc.pcnfsd, adding -Dmc68000 to the makefile.
   You need the RPC stuff installed first to do this.
   You also need the file /usr/include/stream.h which 
   is part of SYSV. 
   I don't touch SYSV so I pinched the file from a SUN 
   and hacked it. 
6. Move the resultant binary to /etc/rpc.pcnfsd, ignoring
   the rubbish in the install script provided by SUN.
7. Put back the Apollo portmapper.
8. Touch /etc/daemons/portmap.
9. Add these lines to /etc/rc:

#
# Added by DB, start PCNFS daemon
if [ -f /etc/rpc.pcnfsd -a -f /etc/daemons/rpc.pcnfsd ]; then
   (echo " pcnfsd\c" >/dev/console)
   etc/rpc.pcnfsd  &
fi
#  
(of course create the file /etc/daemons/rpc.pcnsfd)

8. Reboot  

(Obviously you need to be running inetd, tcpd and such 
 but you would be anyway).


Test pcnfsd by trying to authenticate from a PC.
(Type NET PCNFSD <apollo_node_name>     then
      NET NAME <user> *                    )  



I've not tested the printing stuff but I've
never really got the BSD printing stuff working
properly on Apollo.

Easy !
