Not sure about mounting home directories using NFS on OSX, but certainly, if you're peforming an NFS mount from the UI, the NFS export must be configured to permit insecure mounts.

You can authenticate using LDAP I believe, I'm not certain... I've not tried it. OSX definately has some Kerberos support out of the box though. You can also get the source code for netinfo (the Darwin/OSX directory service) from the Darwin project, and it has been ported to linux at least once in the past...
