You sound like you need a user space NFS implementation. One *is*

] UNFSD - USER-LEVEL NFS SERVER
] =============================
]
] This package implements a simple user level NFS server based on the
] sunrpc3.9 package that was posted to the net a few months ago. The
] current version only provides read access from the clients. It has
] been tested between a VAX11/780 running 4.3BSD (the server) and several
] diskful SUN3/60 running SunOS 3.4 (the clients) and on a diskless
] SUN3/50 running SunOS 3.2 remounting its own root at a lower level of
] its file hierarchy.

Or you can archie for it.
There is also an alternate user space NFS which used to be available from
Tokyo, Japan. I'm not sure if it still is, or where you would get it if
it were.
Good luck in your quest!
