I think I read something about Portmapper being an obstacle to tunneling 
NFS.  ?

If you have the access, what about setting up a VPN with FreeS/WAN?

FreeS/WAN has an interesting feature called "opportunistic encryption".  
Quote: 'OE enables you to set up IPsec tunnels without co-ordinating 
with another site administrator, and without hand configuring each 
tunnel. If enough sites support OE, a "FAX effect" occurs, and many of 
us can communicate without eavesdroppers.'
