Have you considered OpenAFS?  It's the Transarc AFS enterprise file
system, released to Open Source about a year ago, that uses Kerberos
authentication.  It works on all of the platforms you've mentioned.

It has a rather large learning curve but has many advantages over NFS. The
web site is www.openafs.org.
