I would do it by adding an entry into /etc/fstab and have an option for
auto
Something like:
server:/Volumes/share /media/share nfs (options) 0 0
There are lots of options that you can tweak for your needs.
Make sure that /mnt/share is there, if not make it. Then run mount -a

In my experience OSX is slightly slower in NFS on 10.3. The first hit
was always slower till it cached anyway. AFP was the fastest. SMB
second,\ although that does spawn a child process for ever connection.
AFP doesn't thread across the Xserves procs.
I think it depends how many users are hitting the server. Less than 30
for 3D on SMB/NFS and you should be ok.
