It's possible to do this in an insecure manner using the NFS server.
You should read the man page for exports(5); basically, what you want
to do is create an /etc/exports with:
/some/directory/name -ro -mapall=nobody
and then turn on nfs_server in /etc/netstart. Then you can mount your
local disk read-only from an Athena workstation with:
mount -t nfs -e your-machine:/some/directory/name
If you want read-write access to your disk (which means everyone who
really wants it will have read-write access to the whole partition),
remove the "-ro -mapall=nobody" from the /etc/exports line.
