Hi,

I found a viable workaround is to mount the remote directories to
intermediate mountpoints, and union-mount those together, like so:

elmo:/f/bsd/sup-netbsd/src   1436111  1008673   355632    73%    /.source
elmo:/f/archive/distfiles     957151   529749   379544    58%    /.distfiles
<below>:/.source             1521520  1343703   152174    89%    /usr/src
<above>:/var/obj             1933601  1664773   239333    87%    /usr/src

(/var/obj/pkgsrc/distfiles is a symlink to the mountpoint /.distfiles --
nfs-mounting anything inside a unionmount card-house blows up the whole
thing).

I have wrought a shell script that creates and destroys the setup no matter
if one, two or none of (src, distfiles) are remote; contact me off-list if
you are interested.
