RKHunter warning on sockstat/netstat port differences caused by NFS

Servers are FreeBSD 9.0 and and 9.1 with rkhunter installed. Rkhunter is throwing up a warning:

Code:
[04:01:22] Info: Starting test name 'os_specific'
[04:01:22] Performing FreeBSD specific checks
[04:01:22]   Checking sockstat and netstat commands          [ Warning ]
[04:01:22] Warning: Differences found between sockstat and netstat output:
[04:01:22]          Sockstat output (ports in use): 1018 111 123 2049 21 25 50012 514 670 848
[04:01:22]          Netstat output (ports in use): 1018 111 123 2049 21 25 50012 514 670 848 889

So netstat is showing an open port of 889 which sockstat is not showing. I tracked this port down to NFS but regardless the sockstat/netstat port difference is causing a daily warning email which is annoying.

I see others had this problem but I was unable to find a solution:

I don't want to disable rkhunter's check to make this warning go away and am hoping someone has solved this before
