Got this one figured out finally. Just need to have the following lines in rc.conf: nfs_client_enable="yes" rpc_lockd_enable="yes" rpc_statd_enable="yes" rpcbind_enable="yes" The clever bit that kept throwing me was needing to have the nfs client enabled. Once that was in play both lockd and statd actually ran. Geesh!
