It seems that the code was released by the Portable NFS group at Sun
in 1987:
<http://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub//AUIS/src/contrib/mit/fxlib/rpc3.9/>
(portmap.c is in etc. Ah, those were the times!)
The distribution above was apparently intended for use on 4BSD. This
might explain why it does not match a code base derived from SunOS 5.
An announcement of the release was re-posted to Usenet in a digest
with message ID <1987.12.09.14.20.57.534.21347@rice.edu>.
