I'm running FreeBSD as a NIS server with a hand full of clients.
It seems to be necessary to run ypbind also on the server otherwise
I would be getting that clnt_something rpc error message 
during e.g. every xterm login. OTOH, running ypbind results in
not letting me set the local password for root for example.
I always get ' setting NIS password' when using the passwd command.

I would expect that the server behaves like everyhing being local.
