FreeBSD provides as much (if not more) support for the NFS protocol as
Linux does.  (ie. they both spoof it).  If you're serious about making
something happen, or you (like me) believe that your employer is a fool,
then hop on the bandwagon behind Terry; offer to help test his code
changes that relate to it & help agitate for its inclusion.  I'm fairly
sure that both the user-space and kernel-space changes to support it
exist in at least an alpha stage.
