Yes, this does work but you need to add the following to your .emacs file:

;; From: Rui-Tao Dong <rdong@internetMCI.com>
;; Allows Emacs to follow symbolic links with efs syntax.
(defadvice find-file-noselect (before symlink activate)
  (let* ((fullname (expand-file-name filename))
         (link (file-symlink-p fullname)))
    (and link (efs-ftp-path link)
         (setq filename (expand-file-name link)))))

This works for me.
