knfsd-1.2.2-4
knfsd-clients-1.2.2-4 

These should be the only packages you require. I use nfs now myself with
automount basic steps I use to get nfs setup

1. Make sure you have those two rpms.

2. edit /etc/exports file and add an entry to export from server.

/dirname 	server(options)

3. restart or start nfs.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start

4. run exportfs from server.

exportfs

5. on the client you can then mount the nfs share.

mount -t nfs server:/dirname /dirname


That is what I do and no problems so far. Let me know if you have those
two packages and if it still doesn't work and I'll do some more digging.
