No, there isn't.  The current design of the Solaris NFSv4 client is 
not targeted at a nomadic client.  So, the first step would be to
have a reasonable method to easily change the NFSv4 damain at the
client when the change in context occurs.  Actually, it may be interesting
to think about a method of specifying domain per server for cases
such as yours; hard to manage but possible.
