Did you add nfsmount to the default runlevel?

  rc-updated add nfsmount default

This should start rpc.statd at boot time. You can also start it without
rebooting:

  /etc/init.d/nfsmount start

You need to have emerged sys-fs/nfs-utils for this to work.

If you have already done all of the above, I'd look at your firewall rules.
