Mike Frysinger has written a couple of emails with details on this list 
- and also on the libtirpc list, please check the archives.

Off my head I remember:
* libtirpc does not install all headers, so you still need some from an 
old glibc install
* libtirpc was written to support NFSv4 and handles that one fine. Other 
stuff, especially NIS/NIS+, is not working.

So, libtirpc is not a full replacement ;-(
