Is there _any_ way around the need to keep the user IDs matched on NFS
clients and servers?
I checked and there is no way. It is recommended UID/GID be synced
regularly on all client machines.
NFSv4 requires user names and group names be synced. IDs do not have
to match, which makes syncing easier.
You should be controlling IDs/names from a central location and
syncing as part of a deployment system, and not allowing client
machine users to make modifications to those files.

In fact, you can use the nfsidmap service to supply a mapping. I do not
know the specifics of this but here's the manpage for it
