Well, according to nfsiod(8) they're instances of a 'local NFS
asynchronous I/O server'. Seems that you've actually managed to turn
on NFS client support -- the default is for it not to be enabled.
Note that if you're using amd(8) to automount removable media, it
actually operates through NFS.
You might also check for instances of mountd(8), nfsd(8) and
rpcbind(8) -- all of which are involved with providing NFS service.
(You might need rpcbind(8) for things other than NFS, but you
shouldn't run it unless you actually do need it.)
Check the following variable settings in /etc/rc.conf -- I've shown the
default settings:
rpcbind_enable="NO"
nfs_client_enable="NO"
nfs_server_enable="NO"
amd_enable="NO"
Cheers,
Matthew
