It just worked for me. Try setting the sysctl before starting nfsd. If
you are starting the daemons manually for a kernel that doesn't have
"options NFSD" do:

# nfsuserd
# mountd -e -r
# sysctl vfs.newnfs.server_min_nfsvers=4
# nfsd -e -u -t -n 8

- mountd -e loads the module, so you can do the sysctl after that and before
  starting the nfsd. (Or build a kernel with "options NFSD" and do the sysctl
  anytime before starting the nfsd.)

ps: I tested the FreeBSD-8 client. Other clients may not even talk to the NFS
   server during mounting. For those, the mount would succeed, but subsequent
   use of the mount won't work.
