It doesn't.

The gnome-vfs nfs module is only involved when you use an "nfs:" URI. It has
no effect on getting at those NFS directories with "file:" URIs. A gnome-vfs
module defines a new URI scheme -- it doesn't have a way to modify the
behavior of existing schemes.

What do you think will work for any nfs mount that is specified in the
fstab?

What specific behavior in Nautilus do you want? You want it to "make a
distinction", I understand that. But what specifically do you want it to do
differently. Once you get clear on that, we may be ready to write a bug
report or change the code a bit.
