No, per default Linux exports directories as "secure" (i.e. only allowing
requests on a reserved port < 1024). As Mark Hoyle has pointed out RiscBSD
makes nfs requests on a "insecure" port and gets rejected.

So in order to allow requests on non-reserved ports the directory has to
be exported as "insecure".
