OpenBSD source is mostly fun to read. /usr/src/sbin/mount_nfs/mount_nfs.c const struct mntopt mopts[] > So, am I missing where the valid options for NFS entries in fstab are > listed?

These options are not only for the fstab(5); you can as well pass them to mount[_nfs] -o. As far as i know, anything you can pass to mount(8) via -o can also be put into the fourth field of the fstab(5). By the way, mount_nfs -o resvport still sets NFSMNT_RESVPORT, even though mount_nfs -P is obsolete and a noop. And for mount_nfs -agIRrtwx, i failed to find any -o synonyms. Er, well. Hmmm...
