can you (theoretically) run only NFSv4 (without earlier versions)?

In /etc/sysconfig/nfs

# Optional arguments passed to rpc.nfsd. See rpc.nfsd(8)
RPCNFSDARGS=""

man 8 rpc.nfsd

      -N  or  --no-nfs-version vers
              This option can be used to request that rpc.nfsd does  not  offer
              certain versions of NFS. The current version of rpc.nfsd can sup‐
              port NFS versions 2,3,4 and the newer version 4.1.

Would seem to be what you are searching.
