Yes it is possible and usefull too. All you should have on a fast lan is a fileserver.
But:
1. the plan9 terminal must configure the network before it connects to the auth server either through dhcp or through a static configuration in the boot configuration
2. somewhere in the setup of the terminal or the auth server you have to use a hostname that goes into the nvram, that can be reached at boot time. I can't remember where it was, but it was one of my bigger struggles with the plan9 setup.
