I'm am not sure if doing this is possible with the kernel-based autofs 
automounter. 

What I am sure about that this is possible using the AMD automounter,
which is also a Debian package. Take a look at http://tinyurl.com/2eafe
and in particular section 9.6.1., which is an expansion of the what
I found in http://tinyurl.com/2hvra.

The above deals only with the 'fallback' handling, but it would be
trivial to specify that the fallback is not to mounted with fstype nfs,
but with smb instead.
