LGTM, but I'd wait for manpages to weigh in too.

Would it be worth clarifying that nfsd can only run in a vnet jail, and not in a classic jail?

Yes, clarifying that it needs to be a vnet jail is a good idea.

Well, it says vnet jail on line 61, just above.

Yes, but to my reading it's not clear that a vnet jail is the only option.

I'll add the word "vnet" in front of "jail" on this line.
