Thanks for your time, guys. After talking to one of the admin guys over a 2 day period, he finally tells me there's a daemon running that kills nfs whenever it finds it running (unless one of two other processes had started it and were still active). Some security audit. And there are only two approved processes for enabling nfs.

mountd(1M) mountd(1M)
NAME
mountd - server for NFS mount requests and NFS access checks
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/nfs/mountd [-v] [-r]
mountd is an RPC server that answers requests for NFS access information and file system mount requests. It reads the file
/etc/dfs/sharetab to determine which file systems are available for mounting by which remote machines. See sharetab(4). nfsd running on the
local server will contact mountd the first time an NFS client tries to access the file system to determine whether the client should get
read-write, read-only, or no access. This access can be dependent on the security mode used in the remoted procedure call from the client.
See share_nfs(1M).
The command also provides information as to what file systems are mounted by which clients. This information can be printed using the show-
mount(1M) command.
The mountd daemon is automatically invoked by share(1M).
Only super user can run the mountd daemon.
The options shown below are supported for NVSv2/v3 clients. They are not supported for Solaris NFSv4 clients.
-r Reject mount requests from clients. Clients that have file systems mounted will not be affected.
-v Run the command in verbose mode. Each time mountd determines what access a client should get, it will log the result to the con-
sole, as well as how it got that result.

Since mountd must be running for nfsd to function properly, mountd is automatically started by the svc:/network/nfs/server service. See
nfs(4).
Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string comparisons; some do not. If an incoming request fails, verify that the case
of the hostname in the file to be parsed matches the case of the hostname called for, and attempt the request again.
