In the past I've used this file for /etc/sysconfig/nfs on SL6.

LOCKD_TCPPORT=31001
LOCKD_UDPPORT=31001
MOUNTD_PORT=31002
RQUOTAD_PORT=31003
STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=31004
STATD_PORT=31005

I can't speak for SL 5

We have seen some strange issues with the automount on this system failing a couple of times to mount the remote client system.  Wonder if this is related to what you are seeing.  It could be.
