Yes, 2 general ways:

1. NFS - You can either get an NFS client for your Mac (InterCon and
Wollongong each make one), or you can get a Gatorbox which will act
as an NFS/AppleShare go-between.

2. AppleShare on the Sun - There are programs that allow your Sun
to use the AppleTalk protocol and emulate AppleShare file servers.
A freeware set of programs called CAP (Columbia Appletalk Package)
includes as part of its distribution a program called AUFS (Apple
Unix File Server). Rutgers U. is taking care of CAP lately and
it is availble from rutgers.edu by anonymous FTP. I use it and
like it. There are commercial products that do it too. IPT makes
a product called UShare. I think there are others, but don't know
them offhand. Information on this stuff is usually found on the
comp.protocols.appletalk group.

Good luck,
