You can do that by exporting your directory (/etc/exports). Then on the client side (your pc) you have to install a NFS software. But I also recommend SAMBA. We have been using NFS client software until I was able to convince my boss that SAMBA is better in many ways (easier, more secure and more config options).

showmount
SHOWMOUNT(8) System Manager's Manual SHOWMOUNT(8)
NAME
showmount - show mount information for an NFS server
SYNOPSIS
showmount [ -adehv ] [ --all ] [ --directories ] [ --exports ] [ --help ] [ --version ] [ host ]
DESCRIPTION
showmount queries the mount daemon on a remote host for information about the state of the NFS server on that machine. With no options
showmount lists the set of clients who are mounting from that host. The output from showmount is designed to appear as though it were pro-
cessed through ``sort -u''.
OPTIONS
-a or --all
List both the client hostname or IP address and mounted directory in host:dir format. This info should not be considered reliable.
See the notes on rmtab in rpc.mountd(8).
-d or --directories
List only the directories mounted by some client.
-e or --exports
Show the NFS server's export list.
-h or --help
Provide a short help summary.
-v or --version
Report the current version number of the program.
--no-headers
Suppress the descriptive headings from the output.
SEE ALSO
rpc.mountd(8), rpc.nfsd(8)
BUGS
The completeness and accuracy of the information that showmount displays varies according to the NFS server's implementation.
Because showmount sorts and uniqs the output, it is impossible to determine from the output whether a client is mounting the same directory
more than once.
