guides for fedora and use on servers will be very far and few between

fedora is such a FAST MOVING target ( a very new and different version every 6 months)
Also fedora 13 will be End of Life very soon aprox. 3 months[ 90 days] )

you will probably be better off installing that on RHEL6 ( and buy a support license )
red hat has a 7 year ( for $$$ ) life span .

from a skim over the documents over at
http://www.openafs.org/
http://docs.openafs.org/index.html
looks like you need to build the kernel mod for the file system
the nix docs
