You'll probably want to keep them in memory or on local disk. See http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/doc/nfs.txt for more information - default_mail_env needs either ":INDEX=/local/path/to/indexes/%u" or ":INDEX=MEMORY", all machines accessing the mailstore should have sync'd clocks, and all imap servers need separate hostnames.
Okay that's exactly the information I was looking for, thanks. I assume making this change will take care of these errors:

Postfix delivering to NFS Maildir mailboxes... (Maildir on a local file system works fine of course, mbox on NFS is inherently unreliable and heavily dependent on working locking.)
Isn't the main point of Maildir (as opposed to mbox) that it *is* NFS safe and doesn't require working locking?
Thanks! Adam.
