I'm not aware of anything, but maybe someone else knows of an alternative?

On my "maybe it would be nice" list (not my "to do" list, because I'll never
get around to it) was to look at the Solaris' AutoFS. I believe Apple
switched to it and has found it worked well in Mac OSX. I suspect that there
are OpenSolaris sources for it out there under the CDDL, but I haven't even
checked that.

So, if anyone is looking for an interesting project, this might be a nice one.
(I could probably provide some help with it, if someone took it on.)
