  I'm not sure I really understand your needs/goals - but if you're
looking to access your NAS server (NFS?) files over the internet you may
want something more like a vpn solution rather than opening up the box
to the internet (sounds insecure to me)

  If you you have a computer on the inside that sees the NAS files, you
could also forward a high port to the ssh port on that computer - then
use ssh to pull/push files ... some graphical file browsers know how to
use ssh to make the remote files 'appear' local in your GUI. I'd prefer
this be a computer behind the firewall rather than the firewall itself -
ditto for an VPN exercise.
