netatalk does what you want - it's an appletalk file & print server for
unix. also allows unix machines to use other files & printers on other
appletalk servers.
netatalk is available as a debian package. I used to use it on my network
here at home (I had a Mac IIcx with an ethernet card here for about a
year).
BTW, unless there is now a linux driver for localtalk cards then this
is only useful if your macs have ethernet cards. I have heard of a few
drivers being developed for linux, but don't know of any that have been
released.
