Not sure what NAS you have but I have a partitioned disk attached to an Airport Extreme and any of the partitions can be used by Time Machine from any number of Macs.

It depends on the SMB implementation. Low end NAS units will often struggle with the load TM puts on them.

In either case, you will want to create your backup image on your local machine, and then copy it to the NAS. Works much better that way.
