I had a similarly weird NIS problem with a Raw Hide install of a few 
weeks ago.  In my case (see the mail archive) ypbind would never receive 
anything from the server at all, so failed to bind, logging that same 
RPC timeout message.  I take it that much does work reliably for you?

I've since re-installed the box from a newer Raw Hide and it "Just 
Works" again.  FWIW, package versions are now:

ypbind-1.19-0.i386
glibc-2.3.90-38.i686
kernel-2.6.15-1.1915_FC5.i686
