Make sure portmapper is running. If not then as user root
/sbin/portmap

Then you can run the NFS client from the GUI.
I believe we used to start portmap but later it was determined not too.

If this is something that will want to keep then add these lines to /opt/bootlocal.sh

/sbin/portmap
/sbin/rpc.statd
/sbin/rpc.lockd
