I've built zillions (well, OK, at least several hundred) kernels via NFS on various alphas (PW500au, AS500/266, AS200/166) running FreeBSD using a 3.0-current (x86) NFS server without any problems. There have been numerous NFS fixes since 2.2.6. You might consider upgrading your server to a more recent version of -stable (or even better, to -current if you understand the ramifications). If that's not an option, try backing down to NFSv2 if you're mounting /sys via NFSv3.
