If having DHCP up before proceeding is mission critical, set the 
synchronous_dhclient option in rc.conf. If you are satisfied with having 
the nfs mounts continue in the background, use that option in fstab.

In the absence of those 2 clear indications from the admin as to what 
should happen, the current behavior is the right choice.
