*sigh*

Ever hear of Secure NFS?  It uses RPC-SUN (just like the secure X
implementations), and while it doesn't use SSH(tm) it does use
public keys and random session ciphers.

There's also RPC-GSSAPI, which ties Kerberos authentication/encryption
into the RPC layer.

But neither is really supported on Linux, partially due to the 
odd fetish for SSH/SSL, so there's the third option which is running
NFS over (Open)SSH tunnels.  There was a detailed article in SysAdmin
a few months ago on how to do this.
