I am unable to mount over NFS any exported XFS file systems.  Trying to do
so gives me:
"mount: [mount location] failed, reason given by server: Permission denied"
...
Suggestions?

Does this happen on mainline (kernel.org, not gentoo) kernels?

I posted about a week ago that SGI's 2.4.31-xfscvs20050617 is also totally unusable as an NFS server (exporting XFS), though the failure mode is slightly different. Mount's succeed. File access by clients fail.

I suspect there's been some common bug introduced into both the 2.4 and 2.6 XFS drivers.
