You say, your /etc/exports looks like this:

  /usr/local/dc -maproot=root -alldirs dreamcast ram

right?  Is /usr/local/dc the mountpoint of a local filesystem?
It's supposed to be, as described in "man exports".  Otherwise
your line should look something like this:

  /usr /usr/local/dc -maproot=root -alldirs dreamcast ram

Also, I'd recommend exporting a dedicated filesystem to the
dreamcast.  NFS-exports are done on a filesystem basis (at least
that's the traditional way BSD does it - I'm not aware of any
changes to that in NetBSD), and thus a client with access to any
file on a partition can access the whole partition by guessing
other NFS filehandles (and a buggy client can go berzerk and
write to any file on the filesystem).  In my longer mail to
port-dreamcast I describe how I set up a dedicated filesystem
just for the Dreamcast without adding an extra disk or
repartitioning any existing disks, by using a vnode.  Perhaps
you'll find that useful.
