Oh, and I forgot to mention, that the connection attempts to port 16001
all took place within one hour, and _many_ attempts fit within one
second. So, there was, for example 15 attempts to port 16001 within,
say, 14:55:26. And when I checked syslog, I could see, that in the
same hour, minute and second there were these entries:
[...]

Were these port 16001 connection attempts gnome-name-server's "fault"?
Yeah, I installed GNOME yesterday and lots of new stuff got into my
computer, but I've seen this port 16001 and sunrpc connection attempts
before, too. But I take, that this is somehow related to GNOME?
