Believe it or not many people happily use SMB to connect
between *nix computers nowadays - SAMBA developers have
done such a good job, and in a heterogenous *nix environment 
it can even out POSIX ACLs incompatibility.

However I guess you want to get NFS working. iirc it needs
portmap installed on Ubuntu: what have you done so far, and
what are the problems?
