Before I give you an answer, let me explain what I plan on doing. If you like it, and if I succeed, then I'll give back the changes I made. If not, then I won't waste everybody's time anymore.
I plan on using Macintosh's "Netboot" (which is just like PXE except for a few minor details) to boot Grub2 off a DHCP/TFTP server. Once loaded on the client, Grub2 will fetch the grub.cfg from the TFTP server. The grub.cfg will contain entries that are the same as booting off the local disk; except in this case, it fetches the kernel and initrd via TFTP. Adding TFTP support is all I'm going to do, nothing else. Also, I have no problem using Etherboot's code-base.
