I don't know if this is possible "out-of-the-box" with the current FreeNX, so I would advice you to patch the scripts to achieve this.

If I'm correct, you should be able to achieve this using the NXACL feature.

I think this might be fixed in later versions, but I might be wrong here.

What's your progress on this, Steven? Anywhere near a solution?
