Jason,
I don't think there is an ideal solution for you, but the simple way out
is to use scripts instead of going directly to YP. Thus something like
this would work to remove the cachefs entries:
/etc/auto.master -----
....
/cachefsdir /etc/auto.nocache
....
/etc/auto.nocache -----
#!/bin/sh
key=$1
ypcat -k auto.cachefsdir | egrep $key | sed 's/cachefs//' | cut -f2- -d' '
For direct maps, you can setup some links to point to an automount only
area (messy but effective). These links can be done at boot if you
want,, but that breaks if a direct mount is added while the machine it
up. I think it's better to make the links manually. Hope this helps.
