We've been seeing what I gather is an old, traditional problem: kernel: lockd: server<ip address> not responding, timed out
The things I've found, googling, mostly involve rebooting the NFS server, and I can't do that, it's a home directory server for a *bunch* of people, and this is only one person's workstation.
Are there other solutions I haven't found yet?

Have you checked your network connectivity from the problem machine to the NFS server and back? If other machines on this NFS server have no issues then you can eliminate the NIC on the server from suspicion, but the NIC on the problem machine might be having a problem. Check your cable connections while you're at it.
How are you mounting the NFS share? If you are using AutoFS your mount may be timing out. Does the problem machine access the share actively or does it tend to sit for a while between access attempts?
