We have native nfs serving functionality, i.e. as a translator, that 
will be part of 3.1 release. In the mean time, you could use the same 
NFS server from a separate branch that is a lot more stable than the nfs 
in mainline. Note that this branch is only a beta branch for NFS and not 
for the remaining 3.1 targeted items like DVM. The usual caveats that go 
with beta release candidates apply.

Thats available at:

http://ftp.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/qa-releases/nfs-beta/nfs-beta-rc10/

The documentation in there will show you how to export existing 
non-glusterfs directories also through Gluster NFS server.

Of course, you can always email here for questions.
