Since you already have NIS/NFS set up, I would just use it for the Mac client 
as well.  It works fine for the most part.

You'll notice glitches if you really start using the Mac heavily.  E.g. 
on 10.5, clicking a PDF link in your web browser will download the file 
to your desktop but not be able to open it automatically.  Or Spotlight 
not being able to properly index your home directory, so Mail.app can't 
do text searches of the bodies of emails. 

I don't know if AFP has these problems, but that might also be worth 
exploring.
