Given that a hard link is where multiple directory entries reference the same 
inode number within a filesystem, there is no way I would expect an NFS client 
to be able to do this.  The client would need to have knowledge of major, minor 
of the server's block devices.

Maybe. It requires POSIX-compliant hard links on the server file
system, the server daemon, the client NFS software and the client OS.
If you are missing any of these then attempting to create the link will
fail.
