Having parts of the file system on NFS: sure, even have root on NFS: all the time. But if you have two classes of machines (say, diskless SPARC and diskless x86 PCs) for which you have to provide different sets of binaries on NFS: why do you have to share /usr/share across architectures? It will only save you a small percentage of disk space, and at additional hassles.
