Most NFS implementations do not allow re-export of mounted NFS 
filesystems.  The reason for this is that the owners of the NFS 
exported filesystems may not intend for those you wish to re-export 
filesystems to, to have access to the data.

On the other hand the Linux implementation of NFS does allow re-export 
of filesystems.  The Linux version of NFS, which runs (ran) purely in 
userspace, at least at the time I tested it 4-5 years ago, did work 
under FreeBSD under the condition that FreeBSD's NFS client and server 
code were disabled in the kernel, e.g removed from your kernel config 
and kernel rebuilt.
