Our Computer Science department uses SPARCservers as servers for
Suns and NeXTs with good success.  They use NIS (Yellow Pages).

Our College of Engineering has a number of Suns and HPs.  They
had all sorts of problems in the past using HPs as servers for 
Suns, and eventually gave up.  They use Suns as servers for all
their workstations nowadays.  I would guess that if there were 
problems with Sun, there might be problems with NeXT.

I don't know how recently they have reevaluated the incompatibilities
between Sun's and HP's NFS.
