Jorn,
Bootstrap seems to be the method of choice if you need CI for parameter estimates, however, it is almost impossible to do even for models of moderate complexity. BTW, CI based on SE provided by NONMEM are quite good for THETAs. In case of OMEGAs SE are less robust, but still reasonable. Note that most mixed-effects programs do not provide SE for random effects.
Best regards,
Vladimir
