AFAICS, that goal has been completed for a while. What's needed in etch is:

 - nfs-utils 1.0.7 or newer (check, 1.0.9 is in)
 - NFSv4 capable mount (check, the patch was approved a while ago)
 - Fairly recent 2.6 kernel (check, I can't imagine etch releasing without at
   least 2.6.16)
 - Support from initscripts to start rpc.idmapd and friends at boot if needed
   by fstab (check, was fixed by NMU)

We currently run NFSv4 in production at our site (vanilla sid clients, sarge
servers with backported nfs-utils and kernels), and it works well for us.
