Daemons are enabled in /etc/rc.conf. You can see the defaults in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf. 

For amd and nfs you should have the following in /etc/rc.conf:

rpcbind_enable="YES"
amd_enable="YES"
nfs_client_enable="YES"

Section §24.3 of the FreeBSD handbook can enlighten you further. You can
find an english HTML version in 
file:///usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html

Reading the relevant sections of the Handbook if a good way to become
acquainted with FreeBSD.
