Do you have to have strictly AFS or are you looking for AFS-like
functionality.
There are at least two obvious alternatives:
1. The CODA system is a successor to AFS being developed at CMU.
http://coda.cs.cmu.edu
I'm pretty sure there is some NetBSD support, though it might
be some work to support it. I haven't tried running it yet.
2. DCE/DFS sources are available from the Open Group, but attempts to
port this to NetBSD are likely to involve some SERIOUS pain.
There is a group which has gotten DCE running under Linux, and
maybe FreeBSD at BU.
