NIS no - it doesn't even use AUTH_DH (aka AUTH_DES).
NIS+ kind of yes. It does use RPCSEC_GSS but only for dh640-0 and
dh1024-0. It can't be used to used Kerberos.

RPC applications do need to be written to the RPCSEC_GSS API they don't
automatically get it by being an RPC application. Note that there are
some RPC applications on Solaris that are only locally accessible anyway,
(eg keyserv) and thus don't really need RPCSEC_GSS.
