Well, my feeling on the matter, since everyone gets to have an opinion today, is that we should stick with rpcbind: it's what everyone else who uses TIRPC calls it (as well as the entire source code tree). Given that it's not going to be MFC'd to RELENG_4, and everything in the universe is changing in -CURRENT, this minor change to improve our compliance with ${THERESTOFTHEWORLD} isn't a big problem. However, for consistency, it probably is the case that someone should go slap s/portmap/rpcbind/ s/PORTMAP/RPCBIND/ strategically through /etc and associated man pages. Maybe adding a compatibility check that maps PORTMAP into RPCBIND, and then prints a message on boot in the style of nsswitch.
