I don't know why you have to re-boot, but you should not have to.  I make  
changes to the /etc/exports file on many NeXT's on a daily basis (don't ask) and  
never have to re-boot.  One thing that you might want to try is picking up a  
product called NFS/TEST from Intercon Corp. (you need a mac to run it) and you  
will be able to see if your d's are up and running properly.
