It should be that if you include

     V4: /

in the /etc/exports, setting the NFS-root, then the same paths will be 
accessible via both v3 and v4.  I recall this did work for me, though in 
my case I'm committing to NFSv4 only, so have set a NFS-root different 
from /.

In the case of 'V4: /foo', then the directory /foo/bar will be 
accessible as that via NFSv3 and as /bar via NFSv4.

Best wishes,

Norman
