You will need it, if you need to run an NFS server on your machine. To turn it off for good, edit /etc/rc.conf and reboot the machine: portmap_enable="NO" # Run the portmapper service (or NO). Instead of rebooting, you can of course just 'killall portmap' (as root). Note that this will stop the NFS server daemon from working (you will not be able to export file systems). You don't need the portmapper for accessing NFS-exported filesystems on other machines.
