Try "pfexec ipfstat -ioh".

I think you need to start breaking the problem down into parts.  I'd
start by examining the network traffic with something like wireshark or
snoop.  That should at least determine whether the problem is with the
client side or with the server.

Next would be figuring out how to get debug information out of ypbind
and ypserv.  (The latter takes "-v" and writes to /var/yp/ypserv.log,
and the former should already log all it knows to syslog.)

I'm fairly sure that NIS does work on OpenSolaris; I've used it without
trouble.  Unless something has broken very recently, I suspect there's
just a misconfigured or missing component on your system.

(Common problems are not having the case-sensitive "domain" set right on
the client and failing to set a usable mechanism for finding a server.)
