Yes. I saw this start happening in my tree when I merged 2.5.4pre2
When I tried a 2.5.4pre2 vanilla, the problem was gone, so I put it
down to a problem in my tree. When I rebooted back into it, the problem
was gone. Aren't heisenbugs fun?
Exactly the same symptoms, portmap borken, NIS/NFS subsequently fail.
This was on x86 btw.
