It tends to vary somewhat. portmapper is quite loose and fancy free with 
port numbers, you will often find 2049 in use and others around 900 or 
so. nmap is your friend here, as well as netstat and tcpdump in extreme 
cases

If this becomes a problem, most nfs tools support a -p option where you 
define which one you want.

rpcinfo -p hostname should tell you. Note that you might need to open 
other ports in addition to those used by nfs itself. In particular, the 
statd, lockd and mountd daemons usually use random ports, and I don't 
know whether and how they can be instructed to use fixed port numbers in 
Gentoo. Refer to this document for more information:

Modify /etc/conf.d/nfs to setup the ports you want to use:

OPTS_RPC_MOUNTD=-p n
OPTS_RPC_STATD=-p m -o pp

Modify /etc/sysctl.conf to set up the lockd port:

fs.nfs.nlm_udpport = xx
fs.nfs.nlm_tcpport = xx

NFS uses port 2049 as standard, portmap uses port 111

Cheers, Dave

install nmap and port map yourself ... or netstat -a | grep nfs(d)
