Yes, in /var/adm/syslog I get a message like
Oct 25 17:44:17 astarte kernel: libafs: Unknown symbol tasklist_lock

and libafs.map gets only
insmod: error inserting '/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.6.18.mp.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

I'm a bit out of my usual depth here, but I do the following:

# cd /usr/local/src/openafs-1.4.2/src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.18-MP
# grep -r tasklist_lock *.o
Binary file afs_osi.o matches
Binary file libafs.o matches
Binary file rx_knet.o matches
#  nm afs_osi.o | grep tasklist_lock
         U tasklist_lock
# nm libafs.o | grep tasklist_lock
         U tasklist_lock
# nm rx_knet.o | grep tasklist_lock
         w tasklist_lock

I'm still thinking there's some kernel feature that I should have enabled
but didn't know I needed.
