Yes.  You at least need to set nfswriter and nfsreader as appropriate.
The excerpt from NEWS in INN 2.4.0 says:

    * Two new options, *nfsreader* and *nfswriter*, have been added to
      inn.conf to aid in building NFS based shared reader/writer platforms. 
      On the writer server configure nfswriter to true and on all of the
      readers configure nfsreader to true; these options add calls to force
      data out to the NFS server and force it to be read directly from the
      NFS server at the appropriate moments.  Note that it has only been
      tested on Solaris 8, using CNFS as the storage mechanism and
      tradindexed as the overview method.

Please note that while one of the INN developers has tested this support
over NFS with a production server, this is fairly new and the NFS support
has not been widely used yet.
