note that if you're just looking for read-only (or system:anyuser
write *shudder*) you could just run the old linux user-space NFS
server (rather than the current kernel-based one); since that actually
open()'s files from user space, it works with literally any remote
filesystem (re-exporting NFS is one of the uses.)  Performance was
somewhat of an issue in the past, though (1) you may not care (2)
moore's law may save you anyway :-)

Actually, if it's the master, and serving NFS over a physically
private internal net, you *could* just wrap a PAG and an aklog around
the server process, authenticating with one host key for everything
exported via that nfs server...
