Following are 9 patches for knfsd in 2.6-18-rc1-mm2
They should be held for 2.6.19.

They comprise
3 trivial cleanups from Greg Banks
Some fixes/cleanups to socket/version selection code.
Adding a 'portlist' file to the 'nfsd' filesystem.
This can be used to open and close sockets used by the nfs server.
New sockets are created in user-space and passed down by writing
an 'fd' number.
Old sockets are closed by finding the appropriate name in 'portlist'
and writing it back to 'portlist' preceded by a '-'.

nfs-utils-1.0.9 can work with 'portlist' to e.g. control which
protocol (udp or tcp) is used. However it has other problems:
rpc.nfsd 0
will no longer stop all nfsd threads. So there will be a 1.0.10 shortly.
