What incompatible tools???
Any nfs-utils that work with vanilla 2.2.16 will work just fine with patched 2.2.16. They may not access any new functionality, but there ARE NO INCOMPATIBILITIES (that I know of, and I am quute close to the game).
Note that this is in contrast to the changes that went into 2.2.14, which DID break compatability - all of a sudden you needed to run lockd from user space, where as before you didn't. (with the patches you don't any more, so they actaully improve compatability).
