Probably so.  And it's already been done, for the most part.

A couple rpcsec_gss loose ends that need doing:

	* Fix mountd to enable auth_unix mount requests for krb5
	  mounts--needed by people doing rpcsec_gss over NFSv2/v3.
	  See http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57
	* Add 3DES, AES, etc. support.
	* Perform experiments to measure the rpcsec_gss performance
	  overhead.

And there are probably plenty of others depending on interest.

Make sure you let the list at nfsv4@linux-nfs.org know what you're
doing.
