How long until the mount should be completed?
The mount should happen during boot of the client if the NFS server is up. If the NFS server is down, the client should boot without the mount and the mount should appear when the server becomes available. I had a problem yesterday with an old system that wasn't mounting NFS disks at boot. I went into YaST and made it rerun its NFS client setup. That fixed it. I suspect YaST had first been run with no automatic NFS mounts so wasn't starting the NFS client at boot-time, then we'd edited fstab by hand, so rerunning YaST made it notice that it needed to start the NFS client. I can't guarantee that my guess is correct, or that YaST works the same way on recent systems, or that this is your problem :) But it might be worth a try!
