If I remember correctly NFS uses dynamic ports assigned by the rpc
services. So I don't think it is as easy as just opening up a couple of
ports like other services.
I did find this reference which may help you. I believe they are
setting up NFS to use fixed ports so you can open those through
iptables.

Skimming that article it looks like it will do the trick.
Good luck.
