Rather than use hostfs, I've been using NFS to mount my home on various umls - it gives me more flexibility to move the uml to a machine with more horsepower if I want to without shagging out the setup. If you can get TunTap working with 2.4 then this is a good way to go.
As an aside, I haven't been able to get NFS functional when compiled as a module
in the 2.6.11.6 kernel. To get it working, I had to statically compile it in.
However, I have no idea if this is UML specific or a larger issue.
The error message when using NFS as a module was:
nfsd[9362]: nfssvc: Function not implemented
