I believe you have your answer:

Put nolock in the mount options in fstab (rw,auto,nolock), or get
rpc.statd running. For the later, you will need the service file for
it: a quick googling turned out:

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Systemd#NFS

Put the necessary service files in /etc/systemd/system, make a link to
them in /etc/systemd/system/remote-fs.target.wants (you need to do
this by hand, since they don't seem to have an [Install] section), and
then do a 'systemctl --system daemon-reload'. Afterwards, you should
be able to mount your NFS partition with 'systemctl start
usr-portage.mount'.

Regards.
