Haiku ships with quite a lot of file systems and all those are up-2-date 
with the VFS API, or they wouldn't even be compilable. But you can SVN log 
one of those up-2-date filesystems to see in which revision they were 
updated, and what changes exactly were necessary. These same changes could 
then be applied to NFS. The contents of 
/boot/system/add-ons/kernel/file_systems tell you which file systems are 
currently working. NFS is in there, so the API must be correct, but 
probably some internal changes have become necessary that were ommited. But 
the rest of those file systems are all working with the current VFS API.

Best regards,
