Both RH and Gentoo have now adopted the upstream systemd units, which
don't include "nfs.service". But RH creates an "nfs.service" alias to
"nfs-server.service" so as not to upset RHEL sysadmin muscle memory
and scripts.

Does rpcbind.target exist? Does rpcbind.service have a "Requires" or
"Wants" for rpcbind.target? Is rpcbind.service enabled?

I don't have access to a Gentoo box with nfs at the moment in order to
check this but IIRC Gentoo used to use OPTS_RPC_NFSD, OPTS_RPC_MOUNTD,
OPTS_RPC_STATD but it's now using upstream's RPCNFSDARGS,
RPCMOUNTDARGS, STATDARGS, at least in its systemd units. Again IIRC
the ebuild only changes the upstream "EnvironmentFile=" value and
deep-sixes nfs-config.service.
