I don't know if there's a more elegant way to do it but I think one could
do it with xargs, for example from the top level directory:

   find . -print | xargs -i -t chacl <acl stuff> {}

Again might be a more elegant way to do it but I think it could be done
with xargs.

NFS does not support ACLs.
