We had the same issue in BusyBox, and solved it the other way around: have
tools needing RPC do a 'select' on RPC, such as (this is not a patch!):

This is, imho, better this way because what people really want is NFS or
portmap, and might not know that RPC is needed to make those two available.

Having NFS and portmap visible and 'select' the needed RPC support is more
straightforward. But again, this is my humble opinion.
