Hmmm, looks like you'd need to edit the exportfs file and restart mountd.

An "exportfs" interface similar to Sun's would be nice...

     /usr/etc/exportfs [ -aiuv ] [ -o options ] [ pathname ]

OPTIONS
     -a   All.  Export all pathnames listed in  /etc/exports,  or
          if  -u  is  specified,  unexport  all  of the currently
          exported pathnames.

     -i   Ignore the options in /etc/exports.  Normally, exportfs
          will  consult  /etc/exports  for the options associated
          with the exported pathname.

     -u   Unexport the indicated pathnames.

     -v   Verbose. Print each directory  or  filename  as  it  is
          exported or unexported.

     -o options
          Specify a comma-separated list of optional characteris-
          tics  for  the pathname being exported.  options can be
          selected from among:
...

NetBSD could do with one of these too, if it is missing...

Usually, when something is added to /etc/exports, you just run
"exportfs -va" or if you wanted to export /usr/spool/mail you
could do "exportfs /var/spool/mail", etc.
