Uninstalling nfs-server wouldn't uninstall portmap - that's part 
of the sunrpc package, not the nfs-server package.  You may need
to kill the portmap process in order to uninstall sunrpc properly,
if it's running and not responding to service control commands.

Once it's killed, if cygrunsrv can't remove the service entry, you
may need to excise it by hand (via regedit).
