Last time I tried using NWFS, NCP and friends on FreeBSD 5.x it didn't
work. It was a known problem but after doing some googling I came
across this:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-January/044838.html

Unfortunately I need to know that it WILL work and not maybe. When I
have time I will do some tests with FreeBSD 5.x again. Also, even if
it did work I doubt it would be stable enough yet to put in a
production enviroment.
