It's not obvious for me what you are trying here
(a plain NFS client doesn't decrypt, and sending unencrypted stuff
over the wire doesn't sound reasonable).
Perhaps you can explain more...
In any case: If we leave out diskless NFS-root systems,
the NFS port is chosen by the userland mount_nfs program.
(It's always asking the portmapper.)
That should be easy to adapt to your needs.
