Since mountd uses bindresvport_sa(3), the kernel chooses a port in the "low" 
range, configured via sysctl:

	net.inet.ip.portrange.lowlast: 600
	net.inet.ip.portrange.lowfirst: 1023

There is some randomness in the algorithm, so there is roughly a 1/424 chance of 
conflict.  You might use the -p flag to mountd or reduce lowfirst below 993.
