man exports, man mount

I'm away from my FreeBSD machine at the moment, so I'll be a bit vague...
I recall being able to manually export a filesystem with exportfs, then
mounting it on a remote machine.  OSF/1 doesn't have exportfs, and in case
BSD got rid of it place the filesystem in /etc/exports.

On the remote machine,
	mount machine:/path

So, for exporting /usr
	machine1#  exportfs /usr

	machine2#  mount machine1:/usr /mnt


The alternative is to enter the following in machine1's /etc/exports
	/usr

Then the mount on machine2 as above.
