You can use the "noauto" option, and spawn a background job to mount
them in a minute.  E.g.,


fstab:
------
flakey:/ /nfs/flakey nfs defaults,soft,noauto  0  0


/etc/rc.boot/local: (or wherever you put these things)
-------------------
# Mount flakey soon.
echo mount /nfs/flakey | at now + 1 minute


Works for us; if you don't want to be emailed when it fails you can
redirect 2>/dev/null.
