Including it into nfs-utils doesn't seem natural to me as you would need to have those pieces depending on 'portmap' to depend on 'nfs-utils' even if they are completely unrelated to NFS. It would seem more natural to have a new upstream portmap maintainer, if needed, that an inclusion in the NFS project. IMHO In any case, I don't see that many changes being introduced by distributions. Debian's portmap and Fedora/RedHat's portmap is rather similar (there are slightly differences in some command line switches). If you forwarded some fixes to portmap to the distribution's BTS I'm pretty sure it would get accpeted.
