On a whim I decided to change the transport protocol that the Client
for NFS uses and my problem has gone away. By default "TCP+UDP" is
used, but if I set this to just UDP or TCP (via nfsadmin client), and
then restart the Client for NFS service, NFS largely works as
expected--with UDP apparently providing a bit higher throughput over
my WLAN. I haven't tried changing nfsd's flags on the server side
instead, but this might work as well.
Why "TCP+UDP" works for FreeBSD is unknown to me, but I'm content now.
I guess it's one of those interoperability issues...

I have the exact same issue hereFreeBSD works fine, OpenBSD fails.
I'm new to NFS, so I'm not too clear on the best way to troubleshoot
this further, but if there's someone here who is good with NFS and
cares to resolve the issue on OpenBSD, I'd be happy to work with them.
