Interesting,
  I have the kernel server installed along with nfs-common and I
have /usr/sbin/exportfs. Perhaps it comes with the common package. 
  I don't have any experience with the userspace server, the kernel
server is (by accounts/testimonials) faster & easier and I have physical
& root access to my servers so it's not an issue. Any particular reason
you're choosing the userspace server?

cheers,
Owen.
