If this is the case, you may want to test whether upgrading to 13.10 fixes
the problem for you, as there were fixes to mountall in 13.10 that address
exactly this (boot hangs with nfs that behave differently based on the order
of filesystems in /etc/fstab).

If it does fix the problem for you, then David should file a separate bug
for what he's seeing on 13.10.

Title:
  13.04 Hangs When nfs Mounts Present In /etc/fstab

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Prior to 13.04, I routinely mounted nfs mounts from fstab with no
  problem.  As of 13.04, this causes a hang at boot with errors related
  to the system waiting for idmapd and statd to start (which they seem
  never to do).  The NFS server is a FreeBSD 9.1 machine still provided
  NFS3.

  After the system boots, I can mount the NFS mounts manually without
  any problem.
