You can create NFS export from GUI.

1) File Sharing > NFS > Add Export

2) Under "Access Control":

a) Credential mapping: "Map root users"

b) User name: nobody

This is the default; however in a basic configuration, if I am correctly assuming what you are trying to accomplish, you can change this to: root.  Another thing you can do instead and may or may not be the right choice is to instead change the owner of the directory to: nobody (via File Explorer or chmod), but I simply bring up the latter example of how the 2 options related to each other.

In OSX Mavericks, Apple removed the NFS Mount UI from the Disk Utility.  Which is truly unfortunate.  You can create an /etc/fstab file like on any unix host give the right permissions.  Or in Finder, you can click Go --> Connect to Server, then give it the path like this: nfs:// /

Here is a good overview of autofs on OSX (as dynamox mentioned courtesy of Google):
