If you just want to mount a Linux NFS mount (that by default does not allow "insecure" ports), use this on the Mac OS X command-line:

mount_nfs -o resvport nfsserver:/nfsshare /nfsmount

If you want to allow Mac OS X to mount Linux NFS mounts on the server, make sure your export line contains insecure. Here's an example line in /etc/exports:

/nfsshare          1.2.3.5(ro,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,insecure)

Linux enforces an idealistic multi-user machine view of the old world. This concept of defining "insecure" and "secure" based on privileged port numbers is antiquated and doesn't apply in a world where everyone has ultimate privileges on their desktop machines.
