Well, it appears I have one of the Macs which is blacklisted from booting into 64-bit mode --though I can run Lion. If you want to know more about what I'm referring to you can see the workaround that people did for Snow Leopard and the same issue here http://netkas.org/?p=189 Though I have not seem similar fixes for Lion, nor do I want to support users doing that sort of fix.
Regarding getting OpenAFS working on this type of system, do you have a recommendation for next steps? Should I build openafs from source on this machine? We will no doubt have users running into this problem as the semester begins.
