A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

That is an artifact of someone blocking TCP ports 67, 137, 138 and 139
"upstream" from your system.  If you were running DHCP & Samba you would
see them in the output of "ps aux" as well as the portscan of "localhost".

The second nmap listing shows no sign of NFS - bootps is used for bootp
and dhcp servers.
