The easy option would likely be Dropbox. I have never been able to get roaming profiles to work in a reliable fashion. I gave up on them a couple of years ago so I can't really help with this. Some options in this space are glusterfs, zfs, afs, csync, well actually there are quite a few. The problem is that few are truly cross platform. Personally I use samba (cifs) with a https (with auth) share and sshfs. As long as there is a network I have access. If you want dynamic mount points (ie. based on a user instead of systemwide) you are going to have to dig into PAM. It is doable as long as Likewise does not screw with PAM too badly (I don't know, I have never used Likewise, mostly because I will run AD at home just before I buy another Apple product). Honestly as I see it you are aiming for a far too complicated configuration. Whenever I get into situations like this, I try to take a step back and then write down what problem I am trying to solve. Usually I find there is a simpler solution. YMMV.
