You need to enable NFS serving on the box with the volumes you are trying
to mount.  This can be done via /etc/rc.conf or /etc/sysconfig.  Yours
should have junk like this:

gdi,ttyp1,~,114>rpcinfo -p
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100005    1   udp   1023  mountd
    100005    3   udp   1023  mountd
    100005    1   tcp   1023  mountd
    100005    3   tcp   1023  mountd
    100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
    100003    3   udp   2049  nfs
    100003    2   tcp   2049  nfs
    100003    3   tcp   2049  nfs
    100024    1   udp   1011  status
    100024    1   tcp   1022  status
    150001    1   udp    819  pcnfsd
    150001    2   udp    819  pcnfsd
    150001    1   tcp    822  pcnfsd
    150001    2   tcp    822  pcnfsd

THis is set up for NFS service and client.
