Nope, just the source.  
http://swtch.com/usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/upas/nfs
It is IMAP-only right now and depends on factotum.

Mailfs is inspired by Plan 9's upas/fs, which is at
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/plan9/sys/src/cmd/upas/fs/
and documented at
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/4/upasfs

There are differences between the two interfaces but they
are pretty minor.  The implementations are very different
(mailfs is imap-backed and pages messages in on demand;
upas/fs can read from plan 9's local mail spools, pop3, and imap,
but it keeps the messages all in memory).
