I would have been very suprised if it wasn't..

Odd. Even smbfs gives proper Device/Volume entries.
My method of solving that would be to use DevInf (in the SmartFileSystem
archive) to see what's so different between NFS and other devices and look at
it that way.
Or...
Do NFS drives show up with C:Info?
Hide a device icon at random which has the same device name length as the NFS
volume. Quit Opus and load it's Environment into CygnusEd. Replace the
occurance of the device name you've just hidden with the NFS device's name,
ensuring you preserve the size of the binary Environment file.
This Might Not Work.
