Are you sure you have NFS running on the NFS server? If I'm not mistaken
there should be an nfs service registered as well.

This would also suggest the NFS server isn't active.

Be sure your NFS server has:

nfs_server_enable="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf and you have compiled a kernel with:

options         NFSSERVER
