It does not, it's using the new name-based export protocol.
You should connect to the server with a name rather than a port. For
example, with a config file like this:
[generic]
[my-export]
exportname = /srv/foo
You can connect to it like so:
nbd-client server -N my-export
Rather than trying to use a port number. Alternatively, if you really do
need to use a port for some reason, you need to use the 'oldstyle'
option in the [generic] section. It's documented in the manpage.

It actually seems like they are using the nbd default port number for
oldstyle exports, rather than the newstyle named-based ones, which is
wrong. But, well.
