| Sorry, a little late jumping into this but just wanted to add my 2 cents... Corey is right, Ken, there really aren't any other tools that will hammer the server the way real-time users can. You could always use LANtest or iozone in conjunction with tshark/wireshark to capture packet data while you're hitting it with some applescripts or shell scripts or dd.
Go here for a list of opensource performance tools and see if any of these will help: Of course, all of this depends on what exactly you're trying to test - high volume simultaneous connections or what the users are doing while they're connected (Finder actions=mail.app, safari, mounted network directories all accessed at once by one client)?

I don't know of a solution for AFP/network testing. Tools like Helios LANtest will help evaluate the I/O performance of a disk and/or RAID set, but there is no substitute for having many kids log in at once to hammer on portable home syncing or network home folder access. I'd love to be wrong on this.
