After discussions with Dougs Barton & Ambrisko :-), it is my current understanding that the intent of the "knob" labeled "nfs_enable_client" is controlling whether or not the nfsiod daemons (which provide a performance enhancement for NFS client code, but do not actually control whether or not it actually functions) are fired up (in rc.network). Thus, it would seem that a name for the knob that currently has the name "nfs_enable_client", but that more accurately reflects the intended function would be in order. In addition, Boug Barton has suggested changes -- other than what I posted -- that would prevent the (rather misleading) startup message in the event that there were, in fact, no NFS mounts to do.
