Can you turn off cacheing for the contents? man nfs(5) explains "noac"
but that only forces attribute verification on every operation. It
doesn't disable cacheing of the data, does it?

I don't think there's a need for an "no cache symlink" option, provided
you can turn data cacheing off in general.
For those cases where you have per-user symlinks and also files you'd
like cached, you can simppy mount two NFS filesystems -- one cached and
one not.
