  * Having the NAT machine being a NAT machine ONLY, WITHOUT an AFS
     client/server/etc. If you as much as breath "afs" on the NAT box it
     breaks.

I run an OpenAFS client on my OpenBSD nat box with no problems.  I did not
have to do anything special to make this work.

  * Rebooting the NAT box usually means restarting AFS on all clients as
     the udp forwarding is lost.

The clients will eventually recover without restarting.  You can speed the
recovery with "fs checks -all".
