[gentoo-server] rpcbind or portmap?

Hi all, sorry for the silly question.
I have these machines that should be NFS client (NFS server is  
FreeBSD). I've emerged nfs-utils that has net-nds/portmap as  
dependency. What about rpcbind? Should it also be emerged? Can be a  
portmap replacement? I'm a bit confused about...

You don't need rpcbind installed. It appears that it could be a portmap 
replacement, but you'd need to poke the nfs-util ebuild to askign for it 
instead of portmap and hope rcpbind provides all the functionality you 
need. Since it's a 0.1.4 package I'm pretty sire you'll have an extra 
issue or two.
