I have downloaded and installed Geoserver 2.1.0 -beta 1.  Tried the following 
WFS request:

http://localhost:8081/geoserver/wfs?request=getNearest&service=wfs&version=1.0.0&typename=ems:airport&PropertyName=ems:name,the_geom&POINT=-77.51761,37.02235&MAXRANGE=50&UNITS=mi

and received the following exception:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <ows:ExceptionReport version="1.0.0" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ows 
http://localhost:8081/geoserver/schemas/ows/1.0.0/owsExceptionReport.xsd"; 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xmlns:ows="http://www.opengis.net/ows";>
- <ows:Exception exceptionCode="OperationNotSupported" locator="getNearest">
  <ows:ExceptionText>No such operation wfs 1.1.0 getNearest</ows:ExceptionText> 
  </ows:Exception>
  </ows:ExceptionReport>

I see no reference in the 2.1 documentation mentioning getNearest.  Am I 
overlooking something?

Thanks again.

Hmmm...the plugin is old and it's probably working only with the same
version of GeoServer is was developed against.
But now that very same code has been ported into a WPS process, if you
grab the GeoServer 2.1.0 beta 1 release it will be there
