I am not sure of your exact question, but I have two comments for you, 
yes even three:
1. NFS allows one to make a single disk available to a number of machines
2. Users need not be confined to a single path to their data. 
   By changing the DATABASE path on the startup screen when running grass,
   the user can select between any number of different GRASS databases.
   This is even easier in xgrass, where it allows you to store a list
   of commonly used paths to GRASS databases.
3. yes the data must be in a DATABASE/LOCATION/MAPSET organization.
