Looking into it, it does actually support trashing on my SMB mounted  
volume.

It stores the trashed files in /Volumes/«smb mount»/.Trashes/«UID»/

UID being my user id. So I assume that the reason it doesn't support  
trashing on your NFS partition is, that you do not have permission to  
write to the root of the volume (to create the .Trashes/«UID» folder).

Just to settle my curiosity, maybe you could try creating this folder  
in a way that allows your user ID to write to it, and see if the  
Finder warnings (about immediate deletion) disappears?!?
