Yes, NFS lets you share files without worrying about whether the local 
filesystem is HFS+, UFS, or anything else.  If you've already gotten 
Samba working, you could use that to share files instead of setting up 
NFS: both work fine, but Samba filesharing might work a little better 
since the Finder supports it a little more gracefully...
