Replying to myself:
On http://www.openbsd.org/plus31.html, I see:
Remove requirement for reserved ports in the NFS server by using the
vfs.nfs.norsvport sysctl(8)

But sysctl says "third level name norsvport in vfs.nfs.norsvport is
invalid"

Searching the archives for vfs.nfs.norsvport show a message that it was
later removed.

Am I chasing a silly idea?
