NFS and inability to mount remotely

I'm getting the following error trying to mount the nfs exports that I
have set up.

[tcp] nfshost:/exportPath: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure -
RPC: Timed out

to get it I'm running this mount command:

mount -v -t nfs -o tcp nfshost:/exportPath /mnt/temp/

If I run that same command (using localhost or it's hostname or ip) on
the server it mounts instantly. I currently am trying the share with
no ips in exports which makes it claim that it is sharde to everybody.
The same happens' however if I put the clients IP in the exports file
as well.

It seems that the following output is said to be useful:

<root@svnclient> [~] #rpcinfo -p svnhost

100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs
<root@svnclient> [~] #

Also, I've googled for quite a while, and the solutions to this seem
to point to firewall rules, however, nmap shows the port as open and
listening. The server is FreeBSD 6.0, client is -CURRENT .
