I've had a bit of extra time and did install an openSUSE vm.
While the underlying structure is the same, e.g. both systems have
/etc/idmapd.com, /etc/sysconfig/nfs. But, it doesn't appear that suse
uses nfsmount.conf.
openSUSE separates the startup services into client (/etc/init.d/nfs)
and server (/etd/init.d/nfsserver).
openSUSE seems to have GUI tools that are a bit "better". The tools for
nfs client and nfs server are separate and seem "better" integrated with
their firewall tool.
All that said, I've been able to mount a directory using nfs4 on the
suse system that was exported from a f12 system. So, far I've not found
the right incantation to do the reverse.
I should say "thanks" for bringing this sort of thing up. Nice
diversion to normal things and a new procrastination excuse. :-)

FWIW, I've not spent any time trying to get a pure nfs4 environment.
IMHO, it doesn't buy anything.
