We use qmail with maildir, so locking issues don't exist. We use several mail servers and readers all spooling and reading from the same netapp FS. There will be locking issues with sendmail, unless you choose to use procmail for a delivery agent which will address the NFS locking concerns as well. But maildir is slick and easy.
