Of course. On OpenBSD all you need to do to set up a client machine is 
create /etc/defaultdomain. The domain name then gets set in /etc/rc and 
ypbind is started if a domain name has been set.

My problem is that the domain name is no longer set by the time it gets 
around to checking whether this is a YP server or client.
