NFS problem

I have a FreeBSD 5.2.1 NFS file server that serves out the FreeBSD ports
and NetBSD pkgsrc collections. I've been trying to build Apache2 on another
FreeBSD 5.2.1 machine, but have been getting this error with autoconf:

autom4te259: cannot lock autom4te.cache/requests with mode 2 (perhaps you are running make -j on a lame NFS client?): Operation not supported

I could maintain a local ports collection on this machine, but I'd rather
figure out what's going on. I've checked that I'm running rpc.lockd on the
file server, and I've also tried restarting all NFS services on the server.
I also tried unmounting and remounting the NFS export on the client. Does
anyone have any idea about what's going on?
