If you mean what I think you mean then - no you can't. iSCSI is a 
block protocol and you can't mount it more than once at a time unless 
you use a clustered filesystem - if you try then you'll get instant 
corruption.

You can use NFS and iSCSI alongside each other for *different* 
filesystems on different devices, but for the same filesystem.

Apart from the one thing I rather suspect you don't want to do - 
mount the block device with iSCSI and then share the filesystem out 
with NFS (from the machine doing the iSCSI mount)
