verify that both your nfs and net service are at the same run level:

royw-gentoo etc # rc-update show | grep nfs
                   nfs |                                 default
royw-gentoo etc # rc-update show | grep net
              net.eth2 |                                 default
              netmount |                                 default
                 local |          nonetwork              default
                net.lo |                    boot

Also you might consider using autofs.  I have two gentoo and one kubuntu
systems all cross sharing nfs mounts using nfs without any issues.
