The mount comes up fine and works for quite a while and then crashes.
 This is under relatively heavy load (tar files being unpacked, data
files manipulated, etc.). No iptables/chains.

The mount is automounted, the resulting mtab entry on IRIX is:

lego:/export/turb3 /data/turb3 nfs vers=3,rw,dev=100007 0 0

I believe the mount is UDP, I'm not specifying any special options.

I'll look into trying nolock and v2. SHould I try TCP?
