Yes, it works for me, the only thing I changed is the "chkconfig" line of 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/{portmap,nfsfs} and run "chkconfig reset", no more
kernel error message and long delay of mounting nfs. 

Here is another thought, in order to mount /usr as nfs, should portmap
be under /sbin instead of /usr/sbin?

BTW, speaking of nfs, I have observed another problem, when I first
login to a user whose home directory is nfs mounted from an HP server,
sgi linux kernel prints

NFS: server xxxx, readdir reply truncated
NFS: nr=156, slots=2, len=10

All the i386 linux boxes don't exhibit this problem
