NFS over TCP really working thru F/W ??

I've searched the archives of the firewalls mailing list about getting Solaris' NFS over TCP working through a firewall, but I've not seen anyone discuss how to actually get this working. Has anyone made this work? Can you provide a cookbook synopsis and tell what ports are really needed? (Of course, >I< don't want to do this, but it's a necessity. At least it's not involving the public Internet. Any pointers to white papers or other discussions that convincingly ellucidate the evils of NFS that I can show to other people?) As for making it work, the closest I've seen in the archives is this:

NFS over TCP is supported in Solaris 2.5. At that point, the ports you have to worry about are: nfsd 2049/udp nfs # NFS server daemon (clts) nfsd 2049/tcp nfs # NFS server daemon (cots) lockd 4045/udp # NFS lock daemon/manager lockd 4045/tcp
