Yes, you are supposed to be able to, but I haven't figured out quite how 
to do it (the docs are extremely confusing). I haven't quite figured out 
if it's NetInfo that can be configured to read from /etc/fstab or 
"lookupd" (the daemon) that can be configured to do so.

Also, I have to take back what I said before about striping: although 
the initial phase seemed to work, it fails later. So my conclusion is 
that the OpenAFS server used on software raided disks (at least, with 
Apple's software RAID) either RAID 0 or RAID 1, does not work.
