Guessing that you saw these ports when portscanning
your NT system (or doing netstat -a), I'd say that they
have nothing to do with nimreg or nfsd.

This is a problem with "assigned" ports in the dynamic
port range. Many programs may use an dynamic ports 
as listeners, and hence their assigned numbers have 
nothing to do with what the ports are actually doing.

In your case (NT?) I'd assume that these ports are
listeners for various RPC processes.

There's a tool called "inzider" that might help you
determine what ports are used by which process 
(reportedly works fine on NT, not as well on 9x).
