I think that the easiest way to do NFS in a network with DHCP is to set-up the MAC address of the NFS server to receive always the same ip-address... This way, you can use the same /etc/exports file and, since the NFS server receive it's ip address from the DHCP server, you don't have to worry if you set up a fixed address in the NFS server and somebody getting that ip...
