  Jim, mind taking a look at the wiki page and update it,
  in particular anything regarding blkmapd?

I can't comment on the server setup.  For the client, there are Fedora
specific instructions here:

http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Fedora_pNFS_Client_Setup

If you're not using Fedora, you want to install the kernel and nfs-utils
from git.  I'm working on a wiki page with generic client instructions but
it goes something like this:

iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p pnfs-server-iscsi -l
service blkmapd restart
mount -t nfs4 -o minorversion=1 pnfs-server-1:/pnfs /mnt
[ run tests ]
umount /mnt
iscsiadm -m node -U all
