Fwiw, I use Multinet V5.2 from Process Software on a number of my home 
OpenVMS lab systems.

While I do not use NFS, Multinet has a NFS client AND server.
 
http://www.process.com/tcpip/multinetds.pdf
MultiNet includes a wide choice of file services to access, transfer, 
and print networked data. Network File System (NFS) client and server 
provides transparent and quick access to remote files and directories.
The NFS server provides access to the OpenVMS file system from the NFS 
client. ODS-5 support for NFS server allows for long file names and a 
mixed case naming convention. The NFS client allows OpenVMS users and 
applications access to any system running an NFS server, including UNIX 
systems. Additionally, MultiNet provides File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) client and server functionality for transferring files.

Process Software's other TCPIP stack is called TCPware and it also 
supports NFS.

NETWORK FILE SYSTEM V3 (NFS):
NFS client and server provide transparent and quick access to remote files 
and directories. TCPware includes a high performance NFS v3 server (RFC 1813). 
The NFS v3 server improves performance over the NFS v2 server by reducing 
the number of calls made between the client and server.
 
Both prod's are supported from the latest VMS V8.3-1H1 all the way back to 
VMS V5.5-2.
