There is one quite legit use for NFS, which is general handset development. Traditionally many porters use NFS as boot medium for their boards to not constantly rewrite NAND or SD cards with system images on them, effectively speeding up their development cycles. For non-netbook configurations like handsets or development boards, modules may be considered useful to have enabled. Chances are though that board porters will just enable NFS in their kernel configurations. This doesn't mean the utils have to be there, at least in N900, we use busybox to fullfill that within a boot initrd.
