There is an 11.0.2 ebuild available as of a couple of days ago. I've
tested it and it appears sound.

Pardon me for interrupting here, but: What is your NFS host? Is it
some form of appliance that you *cannot* install a Bacula storage daemon on?
While you *CAN* run backups to an NFS-mounted volume, it is strongly
recommended (for performance reasons among others) that *if possible*,
you install a storage daemon directly on the NFS host and use that SD
for your backups instead, so that the SD is writing to local disk
instead of to an NFS mount.
