I think I *did* use the -F option - I was following the directions in
the nfs-server README.  In any case, I am now unable to get back to a
clean state.  Running 'cygrunsrv -E portmap' comes back with the same
message "Error stopping service &c.", and now portmap appears under
Window Services with status "Stopping".  As I stated, uninstalling
didn't work - setup reports nfs-server as not being installed, but
portmap.exe still shows up in /usr/sbin (perhaps because it's in use?).
