/etc/rc.d/rc.rpc looks for /sbin/rpc.portmap and /sbin/rpc.statd
that should now be /sbin/rpcbind and /sbin/rpc.statd
so the section of /etc/rc.d/rc.rpc like this

rpc_start() {
  if [ -x /sbin/rpc.portmap -a -x /sbin/rpc.statd ]; then
    if ! ps axc | grep -q rpc.portmap ; then
      echo "Starting RPC portmapper:  /sbin/rpc.portmap"
      /sbin/rpc.portmap
    fi
    if ! ps axc | grep -q rpc.statd ; then
      echo "Starting RPC NSM (Network Status Monitor):  /sbin/rpc.statd"
      /sbin/rpc.statd
    fi
  else
    echo "WARNING:  Cannot start RPC daemons needed for NFS.  One or more of"
    echo "          these required daemons is not executable or is not present"
    echo "          on your system:"
    echo
    echo "          /sbin/rpc.portmap or /sbin/rpc.statd"
    echo
  fi
}

rpc_stop() {
  killall rpc.statd 2> /dev/null
  sleep 1
  killall rpc.portmap 2> /dev/null
  sleep 1
  killall -9 rpc.statd 2> /dev/null # make sure :)
  sleep 1
  killall -9 rpc.portmap 2> /dev/null # make sure :)
  sleep 1
}

can be changed to this

rpc_start() {
  if [ -x /sbin/rpcbind -a -x /sbin/rpc.statd ]; then
    if ! ps axc | grep -q rpcbind ; then
      echo "Starting RPC binder:  /sbin/rpcbind"
      /sbin/rpcbind
    fi
    if ! ps axc | grep -q rpc.statd ; then
      echo "Starting RPC NSM (Network Status Monitor):  /sbin/rpc.statd"
      /sbin/rpc.statd
    fi
  else
    echo "WARNING:  Cannot start RPC daemons needed for NFS.  One or more of"
    echo "          these required daemons is not executable or is not present"
    echo "          on your system:"
    echo
    echo "          /sbin/rpcbind or /sbin/rpc.statd"
    echo
  fi
}

rpc_stop() {
  killall rpc.statd 2> /dev/null
  sleep 1
  killall rpcbind 2> /dev/null
  sleep 1
  killall -9 rpc.statd 2> /dev/null # make sure :)
  sleep 1
  killall -9 rpcbind 2> /dev/null # make sure :)
  sleep 1
}

and mounting your neighborhood friendly nfs share shouldn't hang...
