The time I wanted to do that I mounted the partition rw for root only
and then let root make it available as a ro, local-only NFS export.

(Actually, it was ro for root, too.  But sometimes I would remount it
rw, do stuff, and go back to ro again.  Users always saw ro.)

I wonder if a union fs could do it?  Probably more efficient than NFS,
if it could.
