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.
