This comes from mountcritremote:

        case "`mount -d -a -t nfs 2> /dev/null`" in
        *mount_nfs*)
                # Handle absent nfs client support
                load_kld -m nfs nfsclient || return 1
                ;;
        esac

mount(8) will print "mount_oldnfs" instead of "mount_nfs".  Note that
until you flipped the switch, the exact same error would occur, in
reverse, on systems running the new stack.

It does, so it's not something new.
