In fact, if you remove the "portmap" package, all the packages
that use the rpc (remote procedure call) interface will show up
and can be marked for removal.
Also try running "netstat -ntap" as root. It will show you what
programs are listening on what network ports. Jeremy is completely
right that you should disable anything that you do not understand
of why it is there.
