Thanks for the quick response.  I was not sure if these could
co-exist in a kernel.  Good know that they can.   I found that
if I include both 

nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfsv4_server_enable="YES"

I everything (obviously) works as expected.  Perhaps, updating
the UPDATING entry that notes that OPTIONS NFSD is now in
generic is enough.

I'll try deleting nfsserver tomorrow morning.

PS: My intentions are to run your new server (and client) on
my cluster to see if I can break them.  Why else run -current?
