Certainly.  I'm sure I'm not the only one here in a heterogeneous
environmont, stuck mounting file systems between NetBSD and other
systems.  The great advantage of NFS is transparency between different
systems' views of the same file system.  (In an environment where PC and
Mac clients are sharing drives with Unix clients, strange characters in
file names occur more often than you might think...)
