Since it has a name in prior art, I'll name the option "grpid" with inverted
logic.  (The mount.h flag would be MNT_NOGRPID, to keep binary compatibility
with old mount options.)

Note, however, that our NFS implementation doesn't obey System V semantics
either; it obeys "server" semantics--at least for V2, as in mkdir() at
src/sys/nfs/nfs_vnops.c(1.115):1824, which sets gid to nfs_xdrneg1.  We may
need an additional NFS-specific mount flag to differentiate historic
"server" semantics from "obey client [no]grpid" semantics.
