It'd be easy to rewrite it from scratch if IFS were recovered. In fact, the whole point behind IFS, way back when, is I could layer a user-space directory hierarchy on top of a kernel provided space and then do "stuff" (I had a POP3 Maildir-like server written using IFS back then.) The squid code wasn't difficult at all. The biggest problem back then was rebuilding the disk index - didn't I have some code to export the inode allocation bitmap via a special file in the filesystem so I didn't have to stat() each individual inode, or didn't I end up comitting that? I'm happy to work on that later on next year. I've got enough non-disk Squid code to rewrite and optimise over the next few months; the storage side is going to have to wait a while.
