I don't know of anyone who has NFS running on the Mac.  I had heard that
CITI had a version that ran on the Mac, but I believe that it was funded
by Apple and is not in the public domain.  Apple has the right to commercially
ship that version or a version based on CITI code (again, I am not totally
sure of these facts, so if someone knows different please jump in).  Apple,
however, has not made any announcments that say they are going to ship it
in the near future.  I would think that they do have plans on shipping a
version sometime in the near future.  At least I hope so, we have been holding
off on doing something like this because we don't want to get caught putting
time into something that Apple is going to end up supplying for low $$.

Hope that answers you question about NFS.
