Per our discussion out-of-band, and just for the reference of others who might have the same question, forced dependencies for rpcbind from ypserv and ypbind aren't present right now, you can work around by explicitly enabling rpcbind in rc.conf. You might actually see rpcbind running later in boot, but it's from another forced dependency that is present. The symptom of this is that ypbind silently fails if the RPC port mapper isn't present :-(.
