Make sure you have nfs_server (or nfs_client depending on the machine)
enabled in /etc/rc.conf, I've only ever used nfs_server so I can't
say anything about the client only NFS working.

This is my /etc/exports file.

/               -maproot=root:wheel     pacer amiga toshiba
/var            -maproot=root:wheel     pacer amiga toshiba
/usr            -maproot=root:wheel     pacer amiga toshiba

However if you want to mount /usr/ports/distfiles directly, either add
an entry for it to /etc/exports, or use the -alldirs option for /usr.
i.e. Something like...

/usr            -alldirs,-maproot=root:wheel     pacer amiga toshiba

P.S. Pacer is my main machine running FreeBSD 2.2.6-BETA, amiga is my
Amiga 3000 running NetBSD/68k 1.2.1. Toshiba is my notebook running
FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE. I have an ethernet network at home, but the
toshiba uses the parallel port IP interface until I get a PCMCIA
ethernet card. I find the parallel port IP interface causes the toshiba
to sporadically reboot a lot so I haven't been able to upgrade it to
2.2.6 yet.

Cheers.
