Sure you can. But NFS will be hosted on top of iSCSI volume so with a single target it does not make sense - using NFS directly could be faster (NFS is very well RAM cached @ server side). Also if you use VMware vSphere NFS with StarWind is not recommended - iSCSI feed directly to VMware will be faster. VMware has properly written clustered file system (VMFS5) unlike MSFT so shares block volume between hosts just fine.
