That's nearly right, I think you found the same howto I did a while ago.It's true that the ports used by NFS and associated services tend to float and need to be fixed.
The correct, ootb way to do it I think I've already mentioned on this list, and Amadeus W.M. has the right way for RHEL and its kin.
Tim, I think that the the "open NFS" checkbox should lock these ports. I don't use the standard firewall tools; if it doesn't do that, then perhaps you could bz it? It's a fair expectation that "allow access to my NFS server" means do all things necessary to "allow access to my NFS server."
