10.1.5.200:/data/backup/alge.anart.no on /mnt type nfs (v3, tcp, timeo=100)
10.1.5.200:/data/backup/alge.anart.no on /mnt2 type nfs (v3, udp, timeo=100)

The first one is the mount I'm currently using (v3, tcp), which does not cause the problem.
The second one is the result of
  mount 10.1.5.200:/data/backup/alge.anart.no /mnt2
and it does, though it's OpenBSD 4.4, default to v3 udp.

I'll try gathering a trace next week. Any other ideas, let me know.
