This is sometimes needed with Linux servers. They seem to have problems,
at least, when I tested it about 4 months ago, if they are x86 systems
with some versions of either wd8013 or ne2000 cards in them (I also
tested a NetBSD/i386 setup with the same card and it worked).

It should yes.

In this case, the structure that has the arguments to the mount() system
call changed (that part of the kernel changed quite a bit because NFSv3
support was brought in). So mount and mount_nfs needed to be recompiled
to actually use the new structure and pass it on to the kernel. You
may see similar cases of having to recompile userland things after 
a kernel change if they affect, say, the proc structure or some
global data structures accessed via libkvm. Not that these changes
come that often, but it happens.
