There is a libautofs library and a mount_autofs program in my 7.2 source
tree, but I'm not sure what it is, since it's not installed or built on
my amd64 box.

It is a program that is part of the base system. See it's manual page;
'man amd'

=46rom amd(8): The amd utility is a daemon that automatically mounts file
systems whenever a file or directory within that file system is
accessed.  File systems are automatically unmounted when they appear to
be quiescent.
