Yes.  There are *many* ways:

	* IBM's own AFS client, which is now GPL'd.  I dunno if
          it's ready for prime time though.

	* Arla.  This has worked before for me.

	* Coda should work, I think.

	* Samba via pilot (?).

	* NFS (read-only) via afs.msu.edu.

	* FTP to pilot.

I have personally used arla, samba, NFS, and FTP at different
times.
