That is really for re-registering.  Say rpcbind died, and needed 
restarting.  If you restart rpcbind, you would need to re-register the 
mountd and nfsd services with it.  You want to ignore the -r option for 
rc.conf usage.

Keep in mind that 5-STABLE, and 6.x (and -CURRENT) have a max of 256 
nfsd's, so if you want to go higher, you have to modify a line in nfsd.c.
