Don't rpc.statd and lockd try to choose a random port upon startup? I
seem to remember a similar problem I had a long time ago. I opted to
use a consistent, not-used port and haven't seen the problem since
(this was years ago, so I can't remember if the error you're seeing
was identical to mine).

/etc/rc.conf:
rpc_statd_flags="-p 898"
rpc_lockd_flags="-p 4045"
