No.

aptitude install nfs-kernel-server

Now you have the required tools to use the in-kernel NFS server.
It can do classic (NFS3) or new (NFS4) service. 

Doing NFS3 exports is done very simply, and is documented in
many places. You write an /etc/exports file that says things
like this:

/home        192.168.0.1(rw) 192.168.0.2(rw) 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(ro)

which gives read/write access to two machines and allows another
network to read anything but not write to it.

Doing NFS4 exports is a little harder, but you can get better
access-control. Google for "nfs4 exports debian" to find a
howto.
