I also feel that '-4' is likely to lead to confusion as to whether the
option refers to NFSv4 or IPv4.

How about implementing a '-V n', where 'n' indicates the NFS version
(with '-2' redefined as a deprecated equivalent to '-V 2').  This
leaves '-v' for possible future used as some sort of verbose flag and
both allows explicit specification of NFSv3 (presumably the default
will change from NFSv3 to NFSv4 at some point - by which time we need
a way to request NFSv3) as well as possible future NFS versions (NFSv5
anyone?).
