I am using 2.4.0-test2 aswell, but on a motorola sandpoint platform...
I get exactly the same messages as you do, but without the last one
("lockd_up: makesock failed...") and the mount works after a delay
(5 minutes or so)... I don't exactly know what is the reason for that,
but have you tried to set up a loopback interface for the localhost
aswell? It just might solve the problem, obviously portmap is trying
to contact the portmapper on localhost aswell...
