These messages are from the results of the kernal trying to access the
portmapper service which runs on port 111. This service is a possible
security risk, and isn't necessary for the function of your raq - do you
know why it is running?

This messages is from the portmapper itself, which tells me that it is
running on your box. I don't usually play with RPC, so I'm unsure of the
meaning of that specific message. You could probably look it up on the web
somewhere.

Modprobe is the linux program that loads kernal modules. Apparently
something funky is going on with your kernal. Have you made any recent
changes/updates to the server? Try to correlate any changes with when the
messages first appeared.
