FAM requires portmap/rpcbind as does NFS. Many corporations rely on NFS, so portmapper isn't a wide-open backdoor with which people can gain access to servers. If there were any open, known security issues, our secteam would be working to patch them. If you firewall off TCP and UDP 111, and only allow local hosts to connect (maybe _just_ localhost) you should never have a problem with it. That said, FAM is optional, and you can certainly rebuild gnomevfs2 without its support if it worries you that much, and/or you want to use the blackholes.
