I've run into this one before - Linux NFS expects requests to come from a 'secure' port while NetBSD doesn't impose such restrictions. You need to pass the -P option to mount_nfs to force NetBSD to use a secure port. Your coworker's Linux machine probably has lots of 'nfs request from an insecure port - psychoanalysis suggested' messages in its log :).
