You were close to right. Use afpd with "-n @other_zone". From the
nbp_name man page:
The argument of afpd(8)'s -n option is parsed with
nbp_name(). The default value of obj is the first compo-
nent of the machine's hostname (as returned by gethostby-
name(3)). The default value of type is ``AFPServer'', and
of zone is ``*'', the default zone. To cause afpd to reg-
ister itself in some zone other than the default, one
would invoke it as
afpd -n @some-other-zone
obj and type would retain their default values.
Enjoy...
