one of my co-workers who uses fc4 on his desktop was able to mount it on his client, and it is still mounted from other (non-linux) systems in the server room, so it looks to me like a problem on the client machine. since the problem appeared only after the latest kernel update, it seems likely to be related to that.
Have you rebooted into an older kernel to confirm this is in fact the case?

Well, now it's my turn to be embarrassed :(
Rebooting the older kernel didn't change things at all, NFS still wasn't working.
So off to the machine serving the nfs shares to reboot it (it had been up for a good six months anyway, so a reboot wasn't necessarily a bad idea, just to let it fsck the partitions). Once it came up I could then mount the nfs shares without issue.
sorry about all the whining gang, but I appreciate the attempts to help!
