Just the latter since pbs_server is making a connection per job and
would use up all ports < 1024 which mount.nfs also tries to use
without that configure flag. I'm seeing that pbs_mom is already using
ports > 1024 for the most part:

tcp        0      0     *
     LISTEN      2492/pbs_mom
tcp        0      0     *
     LISTEN      2492/pbs_mom
udp        0      0      *
udp        0      0     *

which is fine and won't cause any issues with nfs mounting on the nodes.
