NFS locking and NFS v3 work fine on Linux as long as you use kernel
NFS server not userspace NFS server.  Oh and use 2.4.(>=20) and plain
old ext2 (unless you have some serious issues with power unreliablity).

If you're using GigE then use 8k rsize/wsize and 9k MTU... no frags!...
GigE cards are cheap these days, you could put a GigE Intel card in
there so you can later hope to support 9k MTU.
