I believe that you can do this by using UAB... the Unix AppleTalk Bridge...
which enables certain Unix systems to speak EtherTalk without requiring
the services of a K-box.  You would then install the CAP libraries
(with a modified transport layer which speaks to UAB rather than
to the K-box), and build AUFS.

I haven't tried UAB here yet, since we do have a couple of K-boxen and
don't have any Macs directly on the Ethernet.  CAP and AUFS, on the
other hand, have been in use here for almost two years... they're
essential!

Both CAP and UAB can be FTP'ed from cunixc.columbia.edu, I believe.
I don't know where they live in the file-system, though.
