The userspace tools (knfsd-x.tar.gz) are needed to run kernel nfs: they provide rpc.mountdi, and rpc.nfsd which in the kernel nfs architecture is the [knfsd] thread controller. So along with the patched, configured knfsd kernel, you'll need the userspace knfsd-x.tar.gz tools compiled and installed. They are started up very similarly to user-space nfs; the main difference in usage is that after altering /etc/exports you have to use exportfs (instead of issuing a HUP to mountd and nfsd), which is a utility provided to update the exports you're offering. knfsd uses files in the /var/lib/nfs directory to maintain the current exports, well, current.
Much has changed over the last weeks so this might not be totally accurate, however.
