Nope, RTFS:

               /*
                 * Do not allow NFS export by non-root users. For non-root
                 * users, silently enforce MNT_NOSUID and MNT_NODEV, and
                 * MNT_NOEXEC if mount point is already MNT_NOEXEC.
                 */
		[...]
        /*
         * If the user is not root, ensure that they own the directory
         * onto which we are attempting to mount.
         */
