I would be pretty cautious with that.  Unless your NFS server handles
fcntl perfectly, you could be in big trouble.  I'd try a torture test
with multiple processes on different machines banging on it.  Many
people have reported locking issues with various NFS servers over the
years.

Even if it does work, NFS is slow enough that it may be better to use
Cache::Memcached or just MySQL at that point.
