4.4BSD, BSD386 (now known as BSD/OS), FreeBSD and NetBSD all share the same
NFS code by Rick Macklem. I suspect that the differences between them will
be very minor. This code implements NFS v2, but he has also done a v3
implementation, which should be popping up in the various BSDs soon.
It is already present in the 4.4BSD-Lite2 distribution.
