no, some "stuff" related to NFS version 4, id mapping won't start... I
believe you can run NFS 2 and NFS 3 just fine without idmapd ... that
said, the fix is below.

AFAIK, he won't be able to... sunrpc as a module seems to be specific to
redhat derived kernels...

This link, including the message being quoted seems to cover the fix:

  http://linux-nfs.org/pipermail/nfsv4/2005-July/002246.html

I'd be a little more definitive, but one of the development servers I was
testing this stuff on is offsite and offline.
