Interesting... the portmapper is saying someone (xinetd? fam?) said they're
listening for fam clients on port 880. You can find out which process this
is by going "/sbin/fuser 880/tcp" (let me know if that doesn't work), and
then "ps -ef | grep [that-process-id]" to find out more information about
the process.
If xinetd is listening on port 880, that's good. (Although if you tried to
uninstall fam, and it failed during the post-uninstall-script, the actual
files may no longer be there? "ls -l /usr/local/bin/fam" still shows the
fam daemon?)
If fuser gave an error message like "880/tcp: fuser: No such file or
directory", that's bad; it means the process which registered with the
portmapper is no longer running.

Yeah, the fam package has an uninstall script which tries to remove fam
from inetd.conf (and tell inetd about it) when fam is uninstalled, and it
looks like that's what's failing here. Try "rpm -e --noscripts fam" to
uninstall fam without running the script. "Are you sure you want to do
that though?!"
