Some time ago I got pvm working on Apollo systems. In order to get it to work 
you must have NFS 4.1 installed (rpc include files are part of it). This in turn requires SR10.4. We had to mess around with the configs a bit but it seemed
to work. I am not too clear on the details now because it was quite a while ago.
