I found this ancient web page:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/6572509/com/unfs3-0.9.20-1.el3.pp.i386.rpm.html

which suggests there is no binary dependency between unfsd and nfs- 
utils.

I ask because we have had some unfsd questions on the list in the past  
year, so I assumed it was something that was still supported by some  
distributions.
