/etc/rc.d/nfsd restart

Yes, that should work just fine for you. You may also want to mount the
filesystem being shared via NFS on the server with the 'noatime' option.

Should be no problem then. So far, I have had great performance with
the 5-STABLE branch and 6- branch of FreeBSD for NFS serving. For an
IMAP mail store, FreeBSD's near-out-of-box configuration (with the
tweaks we've already talked about) should work wonders.
