Is that really the case, surely the individual binaries are not built
with specific NIS/NIS+/LDAP etc support?... they simiply call a generic
name-service library which passes the request onto the relevant client
(NIS in this case).
If this is the case, it's not the "id" binary that should be setuid
root, as it the client portion of the NIS software that needs to open a
priviledged port.
