There really isn't as far as I know. Some services are relatively fixed
(e.g. NFS - 2049, network lock manager 4045), but the rest are mostly
randomly assigned at ports above 32768. When your server registers with
rpcbind/portmap, portmap assigns it a port. Then, when a client requests
an RPC service, it contacts portmap/rpcbind to resolve the RPC number
to a port and protocol (udp,tcp,tli, whatever)

Or maybe I misunderstand your question?
