If the NFS server supports NLM locking, then the clients should be set up to mount your home directory using NLM locks (in Linux parlance, adding "lock" to the mount options). This may or may not work, depending on whether the applications involved use fcntl() or flock() to do locking (most Linux systems use fcntl()). It can also be dangerous if the exported filesystem has mandatory locking enabled. You said you can't change shared home dir setup, so you may be SOL.
