 nfsd, while the PXE terminal client is still able to boot and mount root from 
 NFS (provided nfscl_enable="YES" is specified in the /boot/loader.conf of 
 PXE's root). so NFS_ROOT does not necessarily require NFSCLIENT, but NFSCLIENT 
 certainly seems to require NFSSERVER.
 
 Yes, you should be using NFSCL and NFSD instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER 
 now.  9 includes a new NFS client and server implementation that include NFSv4 
 support (and have cleaner code).  GENERIC changed between 8 and 9 to switch to 
 the new client and server, but it seems you are using an unmodified kernel 
 config from 8 on 9?
