How "old" are these old systems? Do you have any ISA type ethernet cards?

Read Handbook's section 30.3.6:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html

I actually had this kind of trouble once, and it was due to  an ISA 
network card. I doubt you are really using an ISA card in a production 
system, but some of the remedies described in the section may give you a 
hint of what is going on.
