The answer to your question is "no", it is not possible to perform
multi-factor authorization in OpenAFS.  OpenAFS neither implements a
method of performing multi-factor (aka combined identity) authentication
nor does it support an access control language that can be used to
implement multi-factor rules.

It should be noted that IP ACLs do not provide any security at the
network layer and are therefore vulnerable to spoofing.

The AuriStor File System preserves the /afs file namespace and is
designed to support exactly the use case which you describe.  Please read

https://www.auristor.com/documentation/man/linux/7/auristorfs_acls.html

Migration to AuriStorFS from OpenAFS can be performed with zero-flag
days with a well tested incremental process.
