For what it is worth, I have been using an nfs mount to hold the pool
files for both BPC V3 and V4. This is the fstab entry:
192.168.1.80:/mnt/HD/HD_a2/POOLS /home/disks/nasPOOLS nfs nolock,rw,suid 0 0
The man page nfs(5) explains that nolock does not turn off locking
completely.

Are you running nfs v3 or v4? I have had experience with v3 not working
reliably with BackupPC (related to buggy lock file behaviour). BackupPC
does rely on lock files working, so it's definitely not recommended
to turn
locking off.

I would go further than that. My feeling is that NFS is not suitable
for something so important as your backups.
