No. I am working on this (rather slowly due to pressure of 'real work'). I currently have totally bogus implementations of rpc.statd and rpc.lockd that just say 'yes' to all requests - which at least means I can have a FreeBSD fileserver on my network without all the other machines (Suns etc) locking up when anyone runs a program that tries to use locking. I should be able to get to the stage of a fully working rpc.statd and a server-only rpc.lockd reasonably soon. The client end is much more difficult.
