There is nnir.el which can work with freeWAIS-sf.  Btw, all the other
people who try to use nnir.el seem to fail at installing freeWAIS-sf
-- there must be a problem somewhere.  If only I knew where the
problem is :-(

The comment near the beginning of nnir.el contains a *.fmt file which
you might wish to use with fwsf.

Sadly, currently nnir.el only works for one-file-per-msg backends, ie
nnml and nnmh.
