There's more.  We developed a import frontend, virtually full support for the
display rules of GeoInfoDok and a plugin that implements ALKIS display in QGIS.
But all that has not made public yet, while we're still trying to secure
funding.  It will eventually become open source.

See also the nas mailing list http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/nas/

BTW I also recently became the NAS maintainer in GDAL.
