I was looking into tunneling NFS a while ago, but it appears that it's not easy to send NFS (udp) datagrams through a SSH (tcp) tunnel, I think you might have to run NFS over PPP over SSH. Which I've read is inefficient due to forcing UDP into TCP packets. But not an expert on this part if I'm incorrect, somebody will correct me.
There is also a Secure NFS out there, I don't know where, try google.
