Apparently not:

> ypcat -x
Use "passwd" for "passwd.byname"
Use "master.passwd" for "master.passwd.byname"
Use "group" for "group.byname"
Use "networks" for "networks.byaddr"
Use "hosts" for "hosts.byaddr"
Use "protocols" for "protocols.bynumber"
Use "services" for "services.byname"
Use "aliases" for "mail.aliases"
Use "ethers" for "ethers.byname"

Tried this, but it didn't work. :(

Yes.  In fact, this actual machine is the master NIS server.  There is one
Digital UNIX slave server, and the Digital UNIX clients insist on using it as
their server, while the FreeBSD clients insist on using the master server as
their server.  I can use ypcat and ypmatch with the netgroup map just fine
however.
