Doubtless.

I see some big problems with that:

Not everyone can use FUSE. A FUSE-9P translator would have to be  
written to facilitate importing /net. Some distros may do DNS  
differently, including administrative restrictions that could cause a  
FUSE-based DNS filesystem to fail.

It would probably be a good substitute while work continues on the  
slashnet driver, as it could make development of other parts easier,  
but in the long run I don't think it's a viable solution.
