I would have to warn against autofs, because in my experience it behaves
badly when it can't contact the nfs server when trying to mount and then
when losing contact at any time when the nfs share is mounted. 

As to the OP, I'm not sure if network manager is really what you want. 
I think I would almost hack it into place with the power management
scripts and the /etc/network/if-* scripts.  But that is most probably
pretty far from what you want but its the best I can come up with. 

NFS can be pretty unforgiving to network disconnects and as such I'm
pretty sure it would have fits on a laptop.  I would suggest maybe
looking into sshfs or possibly just using the gnome-vfs is you can get
away with it.  Other than that your looking at crafting a pretty special
setup to keep nfs happy.
