The portmapper (or in 11.1 rpcbind) listens to "all available interfaces". 
This means it can start even if only localhost is up.

Unless you added your network interface to MANDATORY_DEVICES in 
/etc/sysconfig/network/config, either by editing the config file directly or 
by setting the interface as mandatory in YaST, the startup script is not going 
to wait for it, it will allow it to initialize in the background.
