IMHO i'm not sure. I'm just wondering if the NFS client nfsiods can be
awoken to some remote NFS server via some port by UDP without TCP & portmapper.
 BTW, email is not perfect though your responses are always 3 days late,
also when I hit reply it only goes back to you, not the list. Is your
mail server on the fritz? 

Also, can you please explain what this script in /usr/sbin/exportfs 
is doing regarding the nfs and rpc services? :
#!/bin/sh

usage () {
	echo "usage: exportfs [-a]"
	exit 1
}
help() {
	echo "exportfs: tells NFS server to reread
configuration files. -a is supported"
	echo "for backward compatibility"
	exit 1
}
while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
	case $1 in
		-a)
		   ;;
		--help)
		    help
		   ;;
		*)
		    usage
		   ;;
	esac
	shift
done
killall -HUP rpc.nfsd
killall -HUP rpc.mountd

Do a /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs & get:
rpc.mountd is stopped
rpc.nfsd is stopped
Though it looks like the command actually stops the service, as though
it was already running, like when done for SSH.

TYVM,
