If, by NFS trust, you mean secureRPC than you are mostly out of luck.
Although FreeBSD supports secureRPC, it doesn't apply to NFS.

You can map all remote users to "nobody" or even "somebody" but
real NFS authentication is non-existent.

Perhaps kerberos will provide a solution.

Also, you can wait for NFSv4.
