To use nfs you need to do the following:
emerge nfs-utils rc-update add nfs default rc-update add portmap default
Unless you reboot your system you will need to issue the following commands:
/etc/init.d/portmap start /etc/init.d/nfs start
Both portmap and nfs need to be on both the client and server.
On the system which will be serving the file system you need to add the file system to /etc/exports, here is an example:
/home *(rw,sync)
Once that is done you need to export the data by issuing the following command: exportfs -a
