Yep, you probably can write a nfs-udeb or something, including the stuff you
need for nfs/smb (no idea what those are), and load it into the image once the
network is up, or even preseed it.

see how you can include modules and the needed tools to make it happen, even
custom scripts, should be enough to do what you want.
