yup

for each PC
  mkdir /n/Chicago
  mkdir /n/LA
  mkdir /n/NYC
  mkdir /n/Paris

  cd /n/Chicago ; ln -s /.autofs/share1 . 
  cd /n/Chicago ; ln -s /.autofs/something-else .
not-quite-done

you'd need to have each machine export its resources to all
other pc's allowed to access it remotely

you'd need to manaage your own symlinks instead of "minimal" autofs

you can play with amd to do multiple mounted dirs
