My NAS box runs SSH, so I can use the ssh: method in gnome-vfs to browse the filesystem (it uses SFTP). The magic service file is: 

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
<service-group>
  <name replace-wildcards="yes">Remote Files on %h</name>
  <service>
    <type>_sftp-ssh._tcp</type>
    <port>22</port>
  </service>
</service-group>

Restart Avahi and then with a suitable Avahi-enabled gnome-vfs, there will be entries in Places → Network Servers for each machine that file is installed on. Kick arse!
