Have a look at dhclient-perl. There you see that the DHCP vendor
option 170 are mapped to FAI_CONFIG_SRC.
option_170 FAI_CONFIG_SRC
So you should use this in dhcpd.conf
option option-170 "nfs://faiserver/usr/local/share/fai"; # FAI_CONFIG_SRC
But I never tested this.

Another trick would be to write some shell code into fai.conf inside the
nfsroot. This file is sourced and defines FAI_CONFIG_SRC. So you could
write some code that sets this variable depending on your network
environment.
But if the DHCP thing work, I guess that's the best solution for you.
BTW. Maybe you like to update your FAI questionnaire from 2004 and
sent it back to me.
