Just the client.  It apparently is hard coded to check with 
NetworkManager via DBUS on the status of network connections.  
NetworkManager is turned off on the system so ypbind couldn't ever bind 
to the NIS domain.  I've created /etc/sysconfig/ypbind containing:
OTHER_YPBIND_OPTS="-no-dbus"

Now it functions correctly and doesn't depend on NetworkManager.
