Right, you have to open
- - portmap (111)
- - nfs (2049)
- - some port where you want to run mountd on [1]

[1] you must also configure mountd (on the NFS server) to always use the
same port -- that can be achieved by setting
MOUNTD_PORT="2222"
(or whatever port) in /etc/sysconfig/nfs
(and rcnfsserver restart after changing that file)

On the client side, tell the NFS mount to use that port, by setting the
"mountport=...." option in /etc/fstab, e.g.

nfsserver:/some/export/dir /some/local/mountpoint nfs \
tcp,mountport=2222,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,retry=10,bg,soft 0 0
