Ok, a fairly standard RedHat has the following line in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
services: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
This makes the getservbyname return a failure in the case that nis+ is
running (i.e. ypbind) and the getservbyname lookup fails. If nis+ is not
available it will fall back on /etc/services, which does have the Coda
ports.
So you either have to remove the "[NOTFOUND=return]" statement, or add
the Coda ports to whatever database your NIS installation is exporting.

For reference, here is the set of ports that Coda needs, I am not sure
where to add them to have them show up in NIS queries:
# Coda filesystem port numbers
rpc2portmap 369/udp # Coda portmapper
codaauth2 370/udp # Coda authentication server
venus 2430/tcp # codacon port
venus 2430/udp # Venus callback/wbc interface
venus-se 2431/udp # udp sftp side effect
codasrv 2432/udp # server port
codasrv-se 2433/udp # udp sftp side effect
