$ dlocate exportfs
  knfs: /usr/sbin/exportfs
  knfs: /usr/man/man8/exportfs.8.gz

(In other words: it's in the knfs package:
$ apt-cache show knfs

  Description: Kernel NFS Server Tools
   This package contains the necessary tools to use the Kernel NFS Daemon in
   Linux 2.2
   .
   You should apply the appropriate kernel patches in /usr/doc/knfs and
   recompile, at least for kernels <= 2.2.11. See the file NEW for
   details.

Here, the package is even showing up in the output of "apt-cache
search nfs" -- maybe it's potato only.)
