nfsiod is used when you are mounting a remote NFS filesystem.  The
various rpc.* programs are used when your system is an NFS server.

If I remember correctly, nfsiod is a kernel thread, so it will show up
if you have NFS filesystem support in the kernel (at least on 2.0.x).
You can get rid of the rpc.* stuff, as well as portmap, in the init
scripts if you aren't going to be a NFS server.
