If you do mount /proc/fs/nfsd, and use a recent enough version of mountd, then knfsd can and will work without any extra help from exportfs. The one problem I have found with this implementation is that it relies very heavily on reverse-DNS lookups, so it may give unexpected results if you have more than one name for your client. I can't see why that shouldn't be fixable, though...
