you are wrong, rcorder isn't usable in such condition.
it can be only used at boot time w/ all files in parameter.

let's try :

cat << EOF > /tmp/nfsd
# PROVIDE: nfsd
# REQUIRE: mountd
EOF
cat << EOF > /tmp/mountd
# PROVIDE: mountd
EOF
rcorder /tmp/nfsd
rcorder: requirement `mountd' in file `/tmp/nfsd' has no providers.
/tmp/nfsd

Gordon (and I) say he would be allowed to do :

/etc/rc.d/nfsd [force]start

which start mountd (and rpcbind) if required.
using NetBSD rc script, this is not feasible in the current state.
