NFSv4 allows the client visibility into the shared filesystems
at the server.  It is up to the client to "mount" or access
those individual filesystems.  The Solaris client is being updated
with this functionality (we have named it mirror-mounts); I don't know
about the bsd client's ability to do the same.
