Probably not a kernel problem. Those are all RPC services. Looks like
a portmap problem or possibly a loopback device problem. Let's look at
rc.conf.

OK, no firewall blocking the UDP.

Not the loopback misconfiguration that has been going around.

These all look good.
What does,
# rpcinfo -p
Return? Verify that portmap is running on your system. And might as
well make sure you get the following,
# ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
