Aside from porting the server code ...

When I looked at it, NetBSD had "just enough" spare fields for an AFS
server port (that's assuming you're not using the extra fields like the
NFS generation number, which would normally be the case).

AFAIK, no one has done the work yet.  It's on my plate and at least one
other person's ... but hasn't yet bubbled up to the top of mine.  "Someday".
