Only if the hostname parameter is specified as such in bootptab or
dhcpd.conf.

I've always run DNS locally so I have hostnames in /etc/exports, I can't
say if your /etc/exports will do the right thing. Perhaps others can
comment. Are there any lines in the server log files, e.g. /var/log/secure
that indicate attempts to mount?
