A more sensible option in my experience would be to transform the parameter space to send the boundaries to +/-Inf. Suggested reading for 'nlme' includes Pinheiro and Bates (2000) Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-Plus (Springer) and Bates and Watts (1988) Nonlinear Regression Analysis and Its Applications (Wiley).
