No.  cfs mkm makes a special symbolic link in the file system.  Venus
is consulted by the OS only for files in /coda.   So your mkm mountpoint
must start with /coda.   And of course, the server set is defined by
/coda/my.realm.net/ and so any mount point (one of these special
symbolic links) in /coda/my.realm.net/... then talks about a volume
in that realm.   As I understand it, you can't even "cross mount" a
volume from servers for one realm into another realm's tree.

   cfs mkm /coda/realm/mount/point volume-name

Notice, the volume-name doesn't include the realm.  That information
comes from the mount point.
