You can always remove your hostname from the localhost line, and add
another one with your real IP address. (Or if you have DNS set up, not
have this line at all.)

This should make no difference for most programs. But if you now
connect to your nfs mount, the kernel will treat it as coming from
over the network.

If you need access over the loopback address, you can specify
localhost.

(Alternatively, change your /etc/exports to allow incoming connections
from 127.0.0.1.)
