OKay, I took this from the FreeBSD FAQ and this should help all:

10.7.  Why can't I NFS-mount from a Linux box?

  Some versions of the Linux NFS code only accept mount requests from a
  priviledged port; try

	      mount -o -P linuxbox:/blah /mnt




I remember seaning something else about it, and the packet size,
but I am dammed if I can remember.
