<confused>So is NFS working?</confused>

It sounds like you can mount other nfs filesystems from the sparc
machine, right? But nfsd isn't running so you can't mount sparclinux
filesystems from other machines. Be sure you selected nfsv3 server into
your kernel. And yes, nfsd should be running. (as well as portmapper and
mountd)

To see if your machine is listening to nfs requests, do a 'rpcinfo -u
<machinename> nfs' from a remote machine or 'rpcinfo -p' locally.

On a related note, I have been running the latest kernel with NFS
version 3 support with no problems. So it looks like when the 2.4
kernels are "stable" that nfsv3 might be as well.
