NFS is only less safe than local storage for locking, and even then
only if your NFS implementation really sucks.
So I wouldn't worry about it.
To prevent both, though, you could write a simple wrapper script for
maildir2mbox that did some kind of file-based, NFS-aware locking (or
just use fcntl/flock, if your NFS is non-horrible).
