Sorry to jump in an old discussion, I don't read fbsd-hackers often
enough, apparently.

In this situation, wouldn't you rather take the solaris option of
putting "nfs_servers" in their own startup option and start the
servers desired (maybe you don't want rpc.lockd) according to normal
rc.conf knobs.  For services as tightly coupled as this that seems
like a much better way of guaranteeing ordering, and the whole package
could then depend on portmap.

It's not like you'd ever want nfsd and not mountd, or vice versa.
