>Does AIX running on an RS/6000 be provided with support for NFS ?

There is an option for NFS and "smit" can be used to configure the remote
filesystems to mount.  I was able to successfully (in about 10 minutes)
setup an RS6000 as both a server and a client, then configured the system
to export one of its filesystems (which was then mounted by an Intergraph
system) and then added a remote filesystem (from an Intergraph system) to
the fstab of the RS6000.  Granted, "smit" may not be the prefered method
by some -- but it does provide a menu-based system to do this.
