You might want to look at using /etc/netgroup. (It'll make
/etc/exports look a little cleaner.)

Sure, but setting nfs_server=3DYES in /etc/rc.conf will make your life
easier in the long run. And you can just do /etc/rc.d/{rpcbind,nfsd,mountd}
start, provided you've made that setting in /etc/rc.conf already.
(If you haven't changed the setting, the rc scripts will refuse to
start the daemons.)

You read an out of date reference. We don't do portmap any more.
(Don't recall exactly when that went away.) mountd takes care of
the RPC business business these days. (Erm, somebody correct me if
I'm blatantly wrong here...)

Should work fine, I've spun out /mp3 on my 1.5.2 macppc machine to
a friend's Mac OS X machine similarly.

What you have to do on the Mac OS X end is a separate issue. Use the
(NeXTStep-derived, so if it really raises your hackles email me and
I'll play with the one on my turbocube, which I've been meaning to
do anyhow) NFS Manager to set that up.

You're doing fine so far. :^>
