Historically there was a user-space NFS-daemon (and can very probably be
found via Google today).
Actually there are stories about people using it because if you export
filesystems via a user-space NFS daemon, you can change the mounting
below without affecting the clients for NFS-v3.

But the kernel has a NFS-server since years and all (somewhat common)
distributions use it per default.
