Hi,
I don't use NFS with Linux, so I am not sure about that ...
As to compiling your own kernel, and the modules you have,
well, you configure a kernel by running make menuconfig (or xconfig
or config; the same basic configuration, the user interface is
nacurses, X, or the standard text interface).
Look at Documentation/Configure.help for details on what the
modules mean. Re run the configuration, if needed, until you are
happy with the selection.
The modules package merely gives you tools to handle the
modules you select (you can load them, look dor dependencies,
etc). It does not give you modules you use.
After you have configured your kernel to your liking (using
make {menu,x,}config as above, the package kernel package comes into
play.
# make-kpkg --revision c501 kernel-image
will give you a brand new kernel image package, complete with
the modules you selected, which can be installed as usual using dpkg
-i, and that will handle System.map, and links in /, and all.
Please read the documentation in <path_to_kernel>/Documentation/
and in /usr/doc/kernel-package/, and best of luck.
Holler of you'll need help.
