If you must run NFS over the internet you should consider setting up an IPSEC tunnel 
between the nfs client and server. On the other hand if you are trying to update a 
remote machine when the IP address of your home LAN has changed you should consider 
using ssh and some scripting like:

     #! /bin/sh

     my_address=$(/sbin/ifconfig le0 | awk '/inet / { print $2; }')

     echo "My IP Address is: ${my_address}"

Combine this with ssh and you could update a remote DNS server or do whatever you 
need.
