So install the new nfs-utils first...  That's all that's required...

Installing portmapper on every machine in existance regardless of
whether or not it has NFS on it (and therefore adding a new listening
service that most users/admins won't even know is there) is also very
much not an option.

Sadly, the only space in between is to let you do the upgrade, and then
not have any of your NFS mounts the next time you boot.
