Sorry, Elmar is correct.  Below is an excerpt from our file server's
rc file.  If exports isn't there, it won't export the file system or start 
nfsd or mountd.

# if /etc/exports file exists become nfs server
if [ -f /usr/etc/nfsd -a -f /etc/exports ]; then
        /usr/etc/exportfs -a                            >/dev/console 2>&1
        /usr/etc/nfsd 12 && (echo -n ' nfsd')           >/dev/console
        /usr/etc/rpc.mountd && (echo -n ' rpc.mountd')  >/dev/console 2>&1
fi
