Matt, I've never had your particular problem, but since you are running your box as a firewall to your ISP, it's possible you got renumbered or some such. I've lost news/email connectivity several times from MediaOne/RoadRunner, and each time, re-running my firewall scripts (to refresh all the variables DHCP sets) cured my connectivity blues. Note that in your shutdown log that Feb 10 10:58:17 firewall kernel: svc: server socket destroy delayed was never followed by a socket destroy completion message. This indicates that the port being watched by the nfsd was never properly closed and returned to the available pool. This is most likely due to the nfsd believing that there were still active mounts or transactions in progress, and was waiting for them to complete. Next time this happens (if it does), you might want to try just running exportfs. That will stop the nfsd, reread the export table, and restart it. Hope this helps some.
