Yes, you can, and the strange thing is then how to mount it at the client
also (on a directory):

my /etc/exports on the server:

    /usr            -alldirs -maproot=nfsroot falunl

    -rw-------  1 nfsroot  wheel  16777216 Oct 27  2000 /usr/export/swap-sun

/etc/fstab on client:

    azenomei.falu.nl:/usr/export/swap-sun           none    swap    sw,nfsmntpt=/swap

    drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Dec 12  2000 /usr/export/Xkernel-root/swap/
