ISC's port of NFS does not have this capability.  I posted a work around
a short time ago, but is has a drawback.  You can't control which file
systems or which client systems it applies to (i.e. it applies to all 
exported filesystems).

The program is called kernmod.  If you can't find a copy lying around,
send me email and I will send it to you.
