For 2.6, it's entirely possible that it can be done almost entirely in userspace using udev & dbus. The work Robert Love and the other ximian folks are doing on this seems to be moving along at a speedy rate. (Check out http://primates.ximian.com/~rml/blog/ for info)
For 2.4 > 2.4.9 you can do it in user space. Did it ages ago but my implementation is *not* pretty and the performance via userspace is inadequate with modern CD/DVD drives.
Its just a usermode NFSd that mount/umounts the device underneath as it needs it
