Yup.

For those watching from home, it appears that the solution to my dilemma
may in fact be NULLFS.  I've now done a test quick test on a dog of a
machine (P75, 32MB) mounting 1000 NULLFS mounts with no discernable
issues.

The only problem I can find is that the NULLFS implementation doesn't
respect rdonly mount options.  I suspect that it uses the mount options
of the underlying FS.  Still exploring that part of it.
