Hi,
Ed Greshko hit it on the head (thanks).
He suggested that I change the second column of the /etc/fstab file.
Since I had not added any data to these filesystems his instructions were
easy to follow.
I completed the following steps:
1. umount /usr/local
2. service nfs stop <-- /export is to be nfs mounted.
3. umount /export
4. vi /etc/fstab
LABEL=/export /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/usr/local /export ext3 defaults 1 2
5. mount -a
6. df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p5 10079868 32828 9535004 1% /usr/local
/dev/cciss/c0d0p6 119659156 58552 113522224 1% /export
Step 5 saved me the reboot.

If you have not added any data to /export and /usr/local it is a simple
matter of editing the /etc/fstab file to switch the mount points in the
second column. If you have already put data in either of these locations
you just have to add a step copy the data.
After you do that....just reboot.
