It appears as if there is a 'tool' to mount AFP but it requires a
kernel module.  It's called 'afpfs'.  I found it off of this link:

http://mlug.missouri.edu/presentations/20-january-1999.html

It can be downloaded from:

My initial attempt to compile it failed.  I didn't have much time to
debug it, but here is what I got if anyone wants to see if they can
get it to compile:
