Have a look at the CITI reference implementation of NFSv4 (including
RPCSEC_GSS with Kerberos V5) at
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/index.html
A considerable part of it is already included in the 2.6 Linux kernel.
AFAIK this also includes RPCSEC_GSS for NFSv2/3, and thus should
interoperate with Solaris 2.6 and up. Haven't tried this yet, though.
