If you are referring to the NFS-utils wiki page:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Nfs-utils

it provides an example of exporting two *different* partitions:

Device       Mount directory     Description
/dev/sdb1	   /home               Filesystem containing user home directories.
/dev/sdc1	   /data               Filesystem containing user data.
