If you are going with the default/new server, the option is NFSD.

I haven't yet switched over the client (it still needs some
commits related to diskless root, etc), but the option for it
is NFSCL. (When it gets time to switch the client, I plan on
posting to see if others think the default kernel configs should
change. Personally, I'd wait until both have been switched and the
dust settles to the point where it seems there is no need to switch
back.)
