I believe this is expected NFS behavior, and can be fixed by specifying a soft mount. Hard mount is default due to possible instability issues with soft mounting. Using the soft option fixes the problem for me on all of my machines from Hardy to Jaunty (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu). The file system remains responsive (though slow) even after the server is disconnected, and a simple "sudo umount /mountpoint" returns the file system to a normal state. For more information, see man nfs "soft / hard".
