There is a generic RPC server helper in nfs-utils called
rpc_init(). This API will need to be modified to support IPv6 in
statd and mountd, at least.
However, there is a comment inside support/nfs/rpcmisc.c, where
rpc_init() resides, that suggests that this interface is also used
by unfsd.
Is it OK for me to modify nfs-utils' copy of this function, or is
there any kind of ABI restriction between unfsd and nfs-utils?
I'd also like to point out that the block comment at the top of
support/nfs/rpcmisc.c says:
5 * This code is partially snarfed from rpcgen -s tcp -s udp,
6 * partly written by Mark Shand, Donald Becker, and Rick
7 * Sladkey. It was tweaked slightly by Olaf Kirch to be
8 * usable by both unfsd and mountd.

10 * This software may be used for any purpose provided

The second paragraph refers to "the above copyright notice," but there
is no copyright notice.
