Not exactly "modern" but one way is to create mount entries in your 
local netinfo domain, using Netinfo Manager.app or from the command line 
with "nicl" or "niload".  The nfs volumes will then be automounted as 
needed.  There are various ways to do this.  See, for example:

http://mactechnotes.blogspot.com/2005/08/mac-os-x-as-nfs-client_31.html

I use something similar to the suggestion in the comments near the 
bottom of the page, that is using the "net" opts flag which causes the 
mount points to be automatically created under /Network/Servers/.

The usual warnings about using caution when mucking around with netinfo 
apply.
