NIS used RPC procedures to communicate. As it stands today
NIS is currently using the RPC procedures glibc. In the
future there is a very good chance that NIS will start
using the RPC procedures in libtirpc especially if 
IPV6 support is needed...   

So I'm a bit confused on what you mean by "NIS baggage"
in the libtirpc package.
