No, NFS still defaults to UDP, and I haven't changed that particular
setting.  However, I'm pretty sure you still need portmap when using NFS
over TCP as it's used for the initial mount process.

In any case, NFS over TCP should not gain you speed on an "ideal
network" according to the NFS-HOWTO's optimization guide.  I'm going to
go ahead and call my network "ideal" since the whole cluster sits on a
very good switch, and shares it with very little else.
