Jolitz' 386BSD has a working implementation of NFS using TCP instead
of UDP. (I believe this code was in 4.3net2 as well.) I've used it
from one 386BSD machine to another; over a 19200bps SLIP line[*], I
get about the same performance transfering large files as I do for
ftp.
Has anyone ported this code to other operating systems? I'm
particularly interested in having the server side under SunOS, though
I'd appreciate news of other ports as well.

[*] about 1550 bytes/second, roughly 80% if you remember that bytes
are 10 bits on the wire.
FTP's PC/TCP for OS/2 has an implementation of NFS over TCP, TGV
has a TCP-based NFS for the VMS system, and Interstream has NFS
over TCP for SunOS.
