My friend found the 'problem' but I'm not shure who's problem it is.
The clients or the nfs servers. In the handbook section about NFS there
is nothing about this.

These options are added in rc.conf and server now works correctly. 

rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"

But later in the handbook section:

Figure 2-54. Network Configuration Lower-level

The rpcbind(8), rpc.statd(8), and rpc.lockd(8) utilities are all used for 
Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). The rpcbind utility manages communication 
between NFS servers and clients, and is *required* for NFS servers to operate 
correctly.

So I think this should be in the NFS section. Anyone?

The clients are RedHatES4 and servers are FreeBSD 6.1
