In fact it did! Your hint lead me to try my earlier idea: using the -h flag to rpcbind. Turns out lockd wasn't running on any of the systems (rpcinfo didn't show it, and ps didn't show it). I ended up modifying all of the boxes to use: rpcbind_flags="-h <ipaddr of em1>" (Where em1=LAN, em0=WAN. em0 contains the default route as well) Restarted rpcbind + statd + lockd (in that order). Voila, everything started up, and no messages. rpcinfo shows all correct services. So my guess is that by binding to INADDR_ANY by default, packets were going out the primary interface (em0) or going to broadcast on em0 -- which would return nothing, since pf blocked such packets. Makes sense to me anyway.
