Don't know if anyone here gets SysAdmin magazine, but the most recent 
issue (March 2002) has a fantastic article on how you can set your 
NFS server and clients up to use SSH to NFS mount filesystems and 
force both user/host authentication in the process.

The amusing part is that this will only work with a Linux-based NFS 
server, because of the need to do port-forwarding and the mount/
umount commands need to support a port option.  *BSD and Solaris the 
author points out, don't have this support, but Linux does :)

The article seems to be on-line here:

For those interested in the gory details.
