No, it's *NOT* a Mac issue.
Win NT has been showing less space, simply to stay compatible with older
version fo Mac OS, and also because larger network volume support will be in
NT5/Win2000 (long time to wait for tha, I'm sure).
AppleShare servers properly indicate larger disk partition sizes.
... and, last but not least, the netatalk servers I run have no problem
letting my clients show authentic volume size (up to 15 gigs, which is the
largest volume I have shared).
So, this is deifnitely NOT a Mac issue - it was aMac issue on pre-OS 8
systems, but not any more.
