I am only a student at the University of Michigan, so I can't say anything
official at all about MacNFS.  But, I have used the system and it works rather
well.  I wish that I could have it in my room.  Anyway, as far as I know, it's
being developed experimentally at a research center here.  Some of my friends
work for CAEN, which is implementing the system, and I expect that they could
help you.  You might want to send a message to billkatt@caen.engin.umich.edu or
falken@caen.engin.umich.edu.  They should be able to help.
