This question really belongs on the user list and not the hackers list (which is for people developing evolution only).
You are correct in that gconf will not work on NFS mounted home directories because gconf cannot obtain a lockfile for it's database of configuration files. The best place to report this is probably bugzilla.gnome.org under the GConf module. The maintainer may be better able to help you with this problem.
