Yes most modern distros can be iscsi target or initiator. Ubuntu ltsp
stuff can even boot off of that (assuming there is a small hdd in the
thin client).
Regarding NAS: I dont know what you plan on purchasing, but the cheapest
thing to do is either get an old Linksys NSLU2, or a buffalo NAS (make
sure to atleast get a two hdd model) and then add on/replace the
harddrives. And put in a replacement Linux firmware on there:
