By default (unlike NFSv3) NFSv4 mounts the entire tree of file systems
under the mount point and not just the file system being mounted.
You have two choices:
1 - Don't do mount #2 or mount #3. The first mount should allow you to
access /zpool_nfsv4/zfs2 and /zpool_nfsv4/zfs3 with the addition mount=
s.
OR
2 - Turn of the "whole tree" behaviour on the server via:
# sysctl vfs.nfsd.mirrormnt=3D0
on the FreeBSD server.
(I know, mirrormnt is a weird name for it, but that is what Linux used, so.=
..
I guess it means "mirror the tree of mounted file systems on the server to=
the clients".)

What you did definitely had the same file systems mounted multiple times,
so I suspect that is what caused this behaviour.
