What might be more interesting is a 9pfuse, analogous to davfuse (thus the opposite of the thing in p9p now), running on Unix. That way you have a high probability of working with the existing fuse plugs, without having to do any porting work there, and plan 9 systems can still get at them. It's not quite as convenient as having it natively on plan 9, but could produce really good bang for your buck.
