 Try running rpcinfo -p.  It should show something like
       program vers proto   port
       100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
       100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
       100024    1   udp  32768  status
       100024    1   tcp  32768  status
       100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
       100003    3   udp   2049  nfs
       100021    1   udp  32770  nlockmgr
       100021    3   udp  32770  nlockmgr
       100021    4   udp  32770  nlockmgr
       100005    1   udp  32771  mountd
       100005    1   tcp  32770  mountd
       100005    2   udp  32771  mountd
       100005    2   tcp  32770  mountd
       100005    3   udp  32771  mountd
       100005    3   tcp  32770  mountd

 I haven't done an apt-get dist-upgrade on the sarge machine in my cluster
this week, but if I have the same problems as you, I might be able to shed
some light on things.
