I think I remember I got it working some time ago
(on a 7.1 system), relying on the Gnome HAL FAQ
which stated something like this:
File: /usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf
<config version="0.1">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<match user="marcus">
<return result="NNNNN"/>
</match>
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed">
<match user="marcus">
<return result="NNNNN"/>
</match>
</match>
</config>
For "NNNNN", use your user name; I think you can also
use more than one "match" section if you want to allow
access for other users. However, I doubt all this
HAL / DBUS / PolicyKit magic is really intended for
multi-user purposes. :-)
Note that HAL also has an option of "fixed mount points"
to be set at compile time. I think I had set it...
I'm also unsure if NFS mounts are "fixed" or "removable"
in PK terminology.
Regarding your second question, I can't provide any
further information. I just assume it's a means to
turn a safe multi-user system into an insecure
single-user system, which is what users expect. :-)
