Yes, because you can point the automount maps to whatever device you want. NFSv4 might be more tricky to setup on a SAN device and may or may not work depending on the software/firmware of the device. NFSv3 is a well supported protocol across SAN vendors and you should not have any problems setting that up. I've used Openfiler on a white-box SAN with home dirs and automount maps which is working fine for us.
I wonder if you could do some sort of CIFS home dir automount with a SAN that is joined to an AD domain which is trusted by FreeIPA? Seems like this would be feasible.
