Looks like it.

A solution would be to use /etc/rc.local, which should contain
the following:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/mount <your NFS shares>
for SERVICE in "postfix xdm <and other services"; do
/usr/sbin/service ${SERVICE} start
done
exit 0
When /etc/rc.local is being run - I'm not sure! - it could be
that the mounts for NFS have already taken place, so you might
be able to omit the manual NFS mount step.
However, this is not to be considered a clean solution... ;-)
