To me this sounds like a chicken and an egg problem. It
both depends and provides this at the same time :/. But
hey, if it's supposed to work then OK.

depended on locking.
Except for the fact that to be able to mount anything RW you
generally _want_ to have locks. And can't have locks without
the mount. Not that it wouldn't work, it's just that I would
not do it [for obvious reasons].
You just need to be careful to set it up correctly in the initrd: either
make sure that you mount the root partition as 'nolock' or else make
sure that you mount /var/lib/nfs, and start rpc.statd before you start
init and any other applications that might need locking.
