There is one approach that I use and it actually works.
The trick it that paths on the server and on the client are identical.
This works only when using fstab (os) mounts, not with libnfs.
Edit: I higly recommend using fstab mounts on linux systems and then adding media sources to Kodi as if they were local.
Libnfs is great for systems that lack proper nfs support (eg windows, android), but for linux IMO it's better to use native support.
On my server I have a LVM volume, let's call it "storage".
What I do is I mount it on /media/nas mountpoint on my server and then export /media/nas via nfs to my network.
On clients I mount myserver:/media/nas on local mountpoint /media/nas .
This way absolute and relative paths are identical from both server and client POV.
