from the manpage for mount_nfs :
-P Use a reserved socket port number. This is useful for mounting
servers that require clients to use a reserved port number on the
mistaken belief that this makes NFS more secure. (For the rare
case where the client has a trusted root account but untrusworthy
users and the network cables are in secure areas this does help,
but for normal desktop clients this does not apply.)
could you first try using mount_nfs with those options and see
if that works? if it does, then try the following flag to attach
attach -n -e -o "-o-P"
(or try putting a space on the -o-P thing too.. I'm not
that familiar with attach...)
