This was when etch was still testing. The packages you find following the
link are outdated, but might give you an idea of what you need. Basically
4 parts: 

- backported libc (~ 2.4) 
- fsc-patched vanilla Kernel (cf. "series" in current patchset on
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cachefs/patches)
- current cachefilesd (cf. http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cachefs)
- nfs-utils for mount fsc-Option
