according to the import(4) man page the command allows an arbitrary
file to be imported from a remote machine (first paragraph of the
description section), however:
home% touch /tmp/blah2
home% import plan9 /tmp/blah2
import: bad remote tree: chdir(10:"/tmp/blah2"): not a directory
home%
am I missing an argument somewhere?

The problem is exportfs. It limits what it exports by chdir'ing to the
directory being exported and only exporting from there down. Is exporting
a single file important to you or would you accept me just changing the
man page?

would've been an easy solution to importing parts of remote namespaces
without taking in the entire /srv of the machine.
changing the man page is the way to go -- after all nobody uses import
differently :)
