No, NFS only cares that the i_version number has changed, and it's mainly important if you have two clients trying to simultaneously access the same file, so they get a signal that they need to invalidate their locally cached metadata (or data, in the case of NFSv4). But Hurd only supports NFSv2, and the performance is such that I doubt anyone would be all that interested in using a Hurd server as a NFS server for even a small workgroup, let alone a department, so this is unlikely to be a big deal.
