Modify /etc/conf.d/nfs to setup the ports you want to use:

OPTS_RPC_MOUNTD="-p nnnnn"
OPTS_RPC_STATD="-p mmmmm -o pppppp"

Modify /etc/sysctl.conf to set up the lockd port:

fs.nfs.nlm_udpport = xxxxxx
fs.nfs.nlm_tcpport = xxxxxx

NFS uses port 2049 as standard, portmap uses port 111

Cheers, Dave
