You have two choices:
1 - Apply this patch to your NFS server's kernel sources and then set
vfs.nfsd.async=1
http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/async.patch
2 - switch to using the old server by setting
oldnfs_server_enable="YES"
in your /etc/rc.conf and then setting the sysctl.
I'll assume that you realize that doing this violates the NFS RFCs because
it runs your server in a way where there is a risk of data loss (that the
client won't know to re-write) when the server crashes.
