Usually you can edit all settings with smit. I guess you just did not find the right menu.
Also you could edit the /etc/exports manually for your exported FS'es, as the name says, or the /etc/filesystems for the nfs mounts being known to your box.

Yes and no. You don't really restart the nfs daemons but you have to issue a "exportfs -va", which has an analogous effect.

I hope this helps.
