If you don't need to do it often (and you probably don't :) ), you could
always just add the lines to exports and kill -hup mountd when you are
ready to use it, then remove them again afterwards.

If you need it even more secure than using a seperate filesystem
completely for the "network" copies of  /usr/src and /usr/obj, you could
always use a seperate box to hold the exportable systems.  Something's got
to be readable and writable. :)
