For all versions (master/media/client) of Netbackup 7.5x is xinetd a requirement on Linux installations? I'm not able to find anything in the manuals specifying this. Thanks!

No, for 7.5 is not a requirment anymore.
both bpcd and vnetd are started automaticaly with -standalone option.

I was looking where is this written and I fount only this technote:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH58196
At the bottom of the technote says
Note that this problem is not be present in NetBackup 7.0.1 and higher as vnetd and bpcd run standalone and the inbound connections are not received via xinetd.

I'm not sure about the master/media server, but I did successfully install and backup a client without xinetd. Thanks!

No its not required. As StefanosM mentioned, NetBackup doesn't use xinetd for its installs since 7.0.
You can refer to this tech note for more information: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH135628

b4 NBU 7...linux machines without xinetd NetBackup servers will fail to establish connectivity with the client
