Maybe i'm just being silly, but can't you just attach an external drivee, say "ignor permissions on this drive", and share it (I seem to recall that you need a utility to share an external drve)?

"Ignore permissions" would only pertain to the drive being used locally. Once it is shared via AFP or SMB, the default permissions scheme of either protocol would be in effect.
