The tcp spec says that after a reboot an implementation shouldn't send any packets until at least the maximum segment lifetime has elapsed since the crash. So technically the nfs client machine is at fault. But that doesn't really help you. Having sobind return a random port instead of always counting up from 798 (or whatever) might be the right fix here. Later versions of FreeBSD might even do this already.
