I just tried the following command :
strings - -6 /mach | grep rfs
and it gave me a number of RFS symbols. Does that mean that
the kernel has RFS support, but that NeXT doesn't want us to
know it ? Or is that just junk left over from CMU ?

More likely thats the support for NFS which contains lots of cute subroutines prefixed with the letters rfs and appropriate error messages. rfs doesnt stand for ATT RFS in this case, just remote file system. You can check this out by repeating that operation or nm /vmunix | grep -i rfs on a Sun without RFS, i.e. running pre-4.1 or running 4.1 without RFS kernel support. You'll see lots of RFS symbols.
