SPDX rejected Sun RPC license due to restriction on redistribution[^1]. Fedora also classified license as not-allowed due to restrictions[^2]. At the same time as removal, we add glibc-based copy in `rpcsvc-proto`, which ships `rpcgen` after it was relicensed. Alternatively, the OpenBSD copy[^3] could be distributed, but versioning is more complicated. If Apple's `rpcgen` is updated to relicensed source, then `rpcgen` may be re-introduced with an updated `license` stanza.

rpcsvc-protois mainly a Linux package used on distros that buildglibcwith some deprecated parts removed. It is provided by many Linux repositories (https://repology.org/project/rpcsvc-proto/versions) and there are upstream commits related to macOS (thkukuk/rpcsvc-proto@0fe7fb6) so seems okay to ship everywhere.In regards to other options,
rpcgen-mt(https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/lang/rpcgen-mt/Portfile) but they are using NetBSD code which has same Sun RPC license.Related
