Summary:

The majority of folks pointed me towards nfsstat - shame on
me for not finding that one myself as it's part of the standard
OS distribution.

Others suggested the use of a shareware program called nfswatch.
This appears to expand on some of the functionality of nfsstat,
but I haven't downloaded it to test.

Still others mentioned lsof to list open NFS files.

Many thanks for the helpful responses:
