So I'm not crazy, these really are missing from the man page. Hmm. Looks like they were merged into NetBSD back in 2007 (long after the fork) but the changes were never sync'd: https://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sbin/mount_nfs/mount_nfs.8.diff?r1=1.34;r2=1.35 It would be nice to get this merged into 7.9.
