The NFS spec is freely available.  Sun prints the entire spec in their
manuals, with a little statement about how others are encouraged to
develop their own implementations of it.  (If you want specifics about
which manual, send me mail and I'll dig it out.)  The information in
the manual is (almost?) sufficient to build an implementation; it was
certainly enough for me to build an NFS server for 4.3.
