I doubt it but I would love to be wrong.

Only easy if it exists...

Well yes. When I did this I mounted the NFS filesystem on a machine
with a real AFS client and did the 'tar | tar' there. At first glance
that probably looks more or less the same. It is, but the difference
is that if you do it through the translator all your unix perms end up
777 or 666. You'll still probably end up fiddling with them afterwards
anyway, but for me this meant a lot less fiddling.
I have no doubt there are yet other ways, none perfect.
