In case the interface is already up at mount time, you can
maybe use the /etc/hosts mechanisms to assign hostnames to
the IPs you're refering to in /etc/fstab, so you can use
hostnames or aliases there which will then automatically
be resolved.

You can write your own "NFS mount wrapper" and place it into
/usr/local/etc/rc.d; use a template from /etc/rc.d and check
the keywords for REQUIRE that you'll need (references to
interfaces and maybe routing). Then add a _enable="YES" for
your script in /etc/rc.conf and it will be started by the
system when the requirements (indicated by keywords) are
met. There is no need to exactly define this as a point in
time in a given order.
