There is nothing about tomsrtbt that should make any difference to portmap
services, for example, I think people have successfully run a libc5
rpc.portmap, rpc.nfsd, and rpc.mountd to provide nfs services. There are
a lot of ways to debug this- you could use tcpdump, or sniffit, or strace,
or start rpc.portmap with -d, or check if there is an issue with
/etc/services or /etc/inetd.conf (and the lack of inetd!), or use the
rpcinfo program. Since (1) no specifics have been given about WHAT rpc
service is having a problem, and (2) no specific output or narrative from
any of the above approaches has been mentioned, I would have to
characterize the effort to get it working as being in the early
exploratory stage, sort of dilettante beginnings of sort of looking into
whether it will just sort of work without digging. Certainly premature
for a statement like the above, unless that is tounge-in-cheek...
