Looks so. I hava a share mounted from localhost:

[root@skholman-m7 mnt]# mount|grep mnt
127.0.0.1:/opt on /mnt type nfs
(rw,vers=4,addr=127.0.0.1,clientaddr=127.0.0.1)
[root@skholman-m7 mnt]# awk '{print $1, $2, $3}' /proc/modules|sort >
/tmp/not_nfs
[root@skholman-m7 mnt]# awk '{print $1, $2, $3}' /proc/modules|sort > nfs
[root@skholman-m7 mnt]# grep sunrpc nfs
sunrpc 207591 29
[root@skholman-m7 mnt]# grep sunrpc /tmp/not_nfs
sunrpc 207591 28
[root@skholman-m7 mnt]#
