No, GRUB already does.
izzy@grub% grep -n blksize netboot/fsys_tftp.c
133: if (! grub_strcmp ("blksize", p))
139: grub_printf ("blksize = %d\n", packetsize);
422: /* Make the request string (octet, blksize and tsize). */
424: "%s%coctet%cblksize%c%d%ctsize%c0",
If it is too slow for GRUB to download your file, perhaps your TFTP
server doesn't support the option "tsize". In this case, please
install a better server. If your server supports the option but still
too slow, compress your file with "gzip --best".

I myself don't have such a plan. But if you can send a patch for NFS
support, I would be happy with applying it to the official source
tree.
