Hello, Grant.  I'm certain NFS filesystems are supported on clients
other than AIX.  In fact, the URL below links to the UNIX BAClient
manual, which contains the sentence:
"Note: On Solaris and HP-UX, the nfstimeoutoption can fail if the NFS
mount is hard."

Perhaps your source confused NFS support with NFS Version 4 ACL support?

Hello All

Just a heads up to something I found out last week. I have been informed
that backing up an NFS server from a non AIX client is NOT supported.

This could also include using the snapdiff functionality on Netapps.
This is being confirmed now.

This may be old news to you, in which case , sorry, but this is a big
concern for us. I have created an RFE
