That's what I'd like to know.  I have both provide nfsv3 and nfsv4 compiled. 
I have not tried it w/o nfsv4 but I do use nfsv3.  One of my servers uses
the kernel nfsd with v3 support.

On a side note, I wish I could export / to whoever and everything seen on
the localsystem under / is exported just like the userspace daemon.
