This problem still exists and is a critical issue -- No NFS
mounts of filesystems from another machine can be made:

# mount some.foreign.host:/path /path
<<<Command hangs>>>

>From another shell:
# df
<<<Command hangs>>>

>From yet another shell:

Same for "# mount".

The NFS host is running FreeBSD 5.0, which hasn't changed in a while.
It all started when a system was built from a cvsup on Jan 22.
Since then, I've cleared out /usr/src and /usr/obj and re-cvsup'd.
The problem persists.  

I've also tried "*default date=2000.01.01.00.00.01" in the cvsup file
to go back to a (presumably working) source date, but cvsup munged the
source tree beyond use.

Can't anyone suggest a recourse here?

Thanks,
