I am not sure if you use a single-user license on a single Mac, or have a multi-user license to share an index between multiple Macs.
In the first case yes, you can only update the index when the NAS is mounted on your Mac. You can however view a plain text version of the found files when the NAS is not mounted (if "store document textual contents" is enabled in the index settings).
In the second case, the Mac that owns the index should have the NAS volume mounted when the index is updated. If "file sharing integration" is enabled and correctly configured (in the "sharing" tab), then when another Mac connects to the shared index, FoxTrot will propose to mount the NAS volume (if disconnected), so the files will be accessible. If the volume can't be mounted, then the plain text version of found files will be displayed.
