If you use Maildir or something like that, you probably can symlink the 
NFS path into each user's Maildir.

You cannot configure a "filesystem path" to point to a mailbox, as far as 
I know. Maybe there is a plugin for that. But you could create a new 
namespace for the NFS storage and use the config

   mailbox Junk {
     special_use = \Junk
   }

in that namespace.
