If you're dead-set against FTP:
 
Look for ncpfs, which should let you mount the Netware volume from
Linux.  Then you could use Samba to expose that as a smb share.  I know
ncpfs is supposed to have some level of NDS support now.

Or, mount the volume from a WinPC running Novell client, and share that
using Windows File Sharing!  (Haven't tried this...)
