Assuming this is the user-space NFS daemon, not the in-kernel one you
should be able to make use of the following option for the mountd:
-P portnum or --port portnum
Makes mountd listen on port portnum instead of some
random port. By default, mountd will listen on the
mount/udp port specified in /etc/services, or, if
that is undefined, on some arbitrary port number
below 1024.
Reading the above, if you put a line in /etc/services like:
mount 887/udp
Then it will *ALWAYS* use that port and you can simply open that up in
your firewall settings.
