The "device reports dropped packets" - I'd ask the original poster - is it definitely a TCP based NFS mount? Are these dropped packets on the NIC stats, or reported at the RPC/NFS level?
If it's any useful comparison, a completely untuned CentOS 5.4 system that I have - with Broadcom Gbit NIC, can write nearly 60MB/sec over a 10 second period to a Sun 7110 NFS server (OpenSolaris based, FWIW) without a problem. (I just tested by dd'ing /dev/zero to a file with a 1MB block size. No jumbo frames involved.)
