My original question was in regards to finding an NFS-like component for
Macs. My current situation is with Network Appliance filers, so I
didn't try any of the suggestions that needed UNIX boxes.

Here's a recap of the suggestions I got:

tcpCONNECT4 (www.intercon.com) -
NFS client, includes LPR too. Easy setup, and works nicely.
Uses NIS for auithentication.

CAP (www.cs.mu.oz/appletalk/atalk.page) -
AppleTalk server software for UNIX. Didn't try this one, looks
interesting.

Netatalk (www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk) -
Lets your UNIX box look like an Appletalk fileserver.

DAVE (www.thursby.com) -
        CIFS (SMB) for Macs. I liked this the best since my file
        servers (NAC boxes) already do CIFS. Unfortunately, this
        isn't shipping till the end of November and I couldn't
        convince anyone to give me a demo copy.

Chameleon NFS (www.netmanage.com) -
NFS client for Mac, didn't try this one.

Thanks again for all the feedback.
