My original question:

As the saying goes, there indeed are different ways to kill a chicken! :)
>From the answers I received, there are around 7 ways to disable NFS
daemon from loading upon bootup, namely:
A.) Edit entry at the /etc/rc.config file by changing NFSSERVING to 0
Edit entry at the /etc/rc.config file by changing NFS_CONFIGURED to 0
B.) Execute the command as root:
rcmgr set NFSSERVING 0
rcmgr set NFS_CONFIGURED 0
C.) Renaming /sbin/rc3.d/nfs and /sbin/rc3.d/nfsmount into something else.
D.) Edit your /etc/rpc file and disable the pcnfsd.
E.) Remove the link S19nfs and S20nfsmount links from /sbin/rc3.d.
F.) Adding an "exit 0" line on the very beginning of the /sbin/rc3.d/S19nfs
and /sbin/rc3.d/S19nfsmount file.
But I can say that the best way is executing the nfssetup (for earlier
2.0b ->3.2x) or nfsconfig (Digital Unix V4.0) utility and choose not
be an NFS server (for it disables nfs daemon and its currently running
nfsiod).
