I'd suggest taking a look at:
http://www.mclink.it/personal/MG2508/nbsdeng/chap-net.html#AEN2445
It's the section in the netbsd guide talking about how to setup NFS for 
server and clients.  I used it for getting some info on configuring an i386 
as an nfs server, serving a RiscPC and a sparc (all running netbsd 1.5) for 
doing builds and pkgsrc, works fine :)
