I haven't tried it for a while now - I updated my main coda server to an
opteron machine and ran aground on the lp64 issues.  I was working my way
through those, there was a question about addressing a int vs *int storage
issue that I put to the list that never got answered.  I really do want
to get Coda running again - I miss it terribly.

When I did run it, it was rock solid for me but this was quite a while
ago.  From what I can see in the kernel sources, the kernel interface is
fairly current as it does know about realms.  I did have some patches that
fixed a problem with statfs that would cause venus to hang for about 10
minutes on start up _and_ provided a mount_coda so you could put the
coda file system in the fstab and it would get mounted at boot.

Yes, I want to do this.  I am a NetBSD developer so I can commit fixes
into the tree to make things better.
