Does portmap also produce errors in /var/log/messages? What is the
output of,

# rpcinfo -p

When I last had this problem, it was due to the bug in the loopback
address configuration mentioned in the 3.3 errata. Check to make sure
you get the following,

# ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
