​FreeBSD has NFSv4 client and server support.  Has for awhile now.  I
believe it's experimental in 8.x and default in 9.x?

And Rick Maclem (hope I spelt that right) has NFSv4.1 client support
available for testing in 10.x?  At least, I vaguely remember a head's up
about it around a month or so ago.
