The portmapper works just fine over TCP.  rpcinfo -p returns all the
information it should when UDP is blocked.  It would seem that when
performing an actual mount, though, a TCP connection to the portmapper 
is never attempted.

As I said, I've tested 3 other distributions that work fine when I do
this, so there has been some change in behavior to cause this.
