at least /var/qmail/queue/ must be local. Maildirs on NFS isn't that problem.
I won't rely on linux NFS, but thats another thing.

For first: for performance reasons one qmail machine _might_ be enough.
You also might want to look at qmail-ldap with its native clustering
support. http://www.nrg4u.com, docs at http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap/
You should also spend some thoughts on your OS, the *BSDs may be much better
choices for a high volume qmail server.
