ncpfs is only in the centosplus kernel I believe. I also found it buggy and horribly slow. Instead, consider running Novell's Native File Access (NFA) product on your Netware server and exporting your Netware volumes as NFS or SMB shares. I don't think NFA is included with Netware 5.0 (though it might be a free dowload, not sure) but I know 6.x includes it.
Dusting off my 12 year old Netware knowledge, exporting your
netware volumes as NFS shares is probably your best method
for using Netware as a FS platform for Linux.  Personally,
I'd seriously look at why I felt the need to do that, and try to
architect around it though.
I don't know how the current NFA handles NFS, but back in the
day, NFS exports from  Netware pretty much sucked, although
Novell's still my all-time favorite production FS product I've ever
used.  (vrepair *ROXORS* at cleaning up munched volumes
if you have to use it).
