The above doesn't look like a plausible IPV6 address. I have IPV6 enabled on

That would explain why older code (such as CygWin NFS Server - IPV4) is able
to register with portmap.
portmap and the entire sunrpc package is pretty old stuff. They are not
used anymore on Linux and BSD afaik, but there's replacement code in a
not so easy portable way.
Portmap and the rest of the sunrpc code is not overly complicated, though.
With a bit of effort it should be possible to make it IPv6-aware. However,

portmap is not IPv6-aware. There is a replacement, rpcbind, which does
support IPv6. I have a partially-ported version of that sitting on my
hard drive, but it doesn't seem to actually work. If any body is
interested in using it as a starting point for a portmapper replacement
on cygwin, I can make it available.
(I also have a simple rpc client and server package that can be used to
test rpcbind)
