I believe you gotta use mountd -n on the FreeBSD side.
I connected a PC under DOS/Windows 3.11 recently to a FreeBSD box
using a shareware NFS client (XFS32 - obtainable from
robertj@lwfws1@uni-paderborn.de) and I had to run mountd -n
otherwise I had authentication problems. I also installed
pcnfsd from the ports dir.
