Historically, I've always mounted them at /nfs/machine-name/whatever. 
The important point is to make the data appear at the same place on the 
serving machine as well (using symlinks), for portability.

Looking at fhs, I'd guess the correct place is under /srv, so my vote 
would go for:
  /srv/machine-name/whatever
or possibly
  /srv/nfs/machine-name/whatever

BTW as regards media, fhs has this to say:

/media : Mount point for removeable media
Purpose

This directory contains subdirectories which are used as mount points 
for removeable media such as floppy disks, cdroms and zip disks.
