I would look in Makefile.conf to see if Configure_new found Netatalk. 
If it didn't, nbp_lookup, the atalk interface program, and papsrv won't
be built.

The end of Makefile.conf should look something like this:

#==============================================================
# Start of AppleTalk settings.
#==============================================================
# Which AppleTalk library are we using, if any?
ATALKTYPE=ali
ATALKFLAGS=-I /usr/local/include -I /usr/include
ATALKLIBS=/usr/local/lib/libnatali.a /usr/lib/libatalk.a

# Enable building and installing of programs that require AppleTalk.
ALL_ATALK=all-atalk
INSTALL_ATALK=install-atalk

Where is getzones on your system?  The getzones link is created by
~ppr/fixup/fixup_atalk.  It tries /usr/local/atalk/bin/getzones (the
traditional location) and /usr/bin/getzones (the location in the RPMs).

I don't know.  I would expect that if nbp_lookup were missing, then the atalk interface 
would be missing too so you wouldn't be able to print to AppleTalk printers.
