Both the NFS server and client are FreeBSD-CURRENT systems.

I can trivially trigger this on all my FreeBSD-CURRENT NFS clients,
simply by exiting Vim. Did something change sometime in 2006 that would
affect the default NFS mounts?

# ping -c100 -s1472 your.nfs.server

Run this when the machine is idle; and run it while you are exercising
the NFS server. Do you see any packet loss?

When experiencing "kernel: nfs server server:/files: not responding", I
ran this suggest ping. The results were:

--- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---
100 packets transmitted, 100 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.389/0.511/0.767/0.062 ms
