Thanks for the link.  I used system-config-securitylevel to activate the 
firewall.  Since I had selected NFS4 I had expected the shares to be visible.  
When they weren't I tried opening 2049 to tcp and udp, but they were not 
saved, so I'm inclined to think that the gui NFS4 option had already done 
that.  

etc/sysconfig/nfs does exist, with everything commented out.  The first 
section asks me to decide whether mountd is to use NFS_V1,2,or 3.  In view of 
NFS4 being in s-c-securitylevel, this is confusing.

The ports mentioned in the file are much lower than the ones in the link you 
provided, by which I assume that they are intended to obscure the purpose.  Is 
it wise to start by accepting the ports in the file  until everything works, 
then try mapping in higher ports?
