At least with NFSv4 and ZFS, ACLs are propagated to client systems just fine (it's storing NFSv4 ACLs natively in ZFS on disk). For a combination of FreeBSD server and client at least. With a FreeBSD server and Linux client, NFSv4 ACL support isn't working for me, though the standard ownership and perms work correctly. I put this down to the Linux NFS client being less sophisticated and/or buggy, but I can't rule out some configuration issue.

The actual kernel client code is pretty trivial, so the bug's probably either in the FreeBSD server or the client-side nfs4-acl-tools. Please report the problem.
