There actually is a UNICODE version of an smb server that nowadays does quite a
decent job (IMHO) as an AFS client: Samba 3. Currently the advanced features
(fake-kaserver, vfs_afsacl) are only available on Linux, but it would probably
be not too hard to port that to other Unixes. Windows is a different matter
though...
