What is the limit of NFS mounts a FreeBSD server can make and how do you

The only reference I could find to this question on the FreeBSD lists is

I have ran a similar test and the same thing happens after 420 NFS mounts.
This is on both FreeBSD 6.0 and 6.2.
We have recently run into a problem where we are bumping up against some
kind of limit to the number of NFS mounts on our FreeBSD servers.
Sounds a bit like something is running out of reserved ports to use -- the
credentials error may mean that a port number >1023 was used for an NFS
connection. Given that reserved ports start around 600, 420 is about the
right number of sockets to reach 1024.
