Is there a reason why NFS can't be set to use fixed ports by default? I don't see a security issue because rpcinfo gives you the ports anyway, so if you can connect to RPC you can find the ports; obviously you'd need to ensure that they didn't conflict with anything else, but hopefully that's easier than for thousands of users to have to figure out which files to change in order to get it to use fixed ports which can be firewalled reliably.
