two possibilities...

some unices allow relative symlinks, ie, "ln -s ../bob/file bobfile" leading
to a symlink to ../bob/file instead of /whatever/bob/file

another which i use that is more portable, is to make a local symlink of
/whatever/remote/directory you are mounting
to /local/mount/point (on the client)

viz:

exporing /spoo/mp3 on server
mounting /mp3 on client
mkdir /spoo on client
ln -s /mp3 /spoo/mp3 on client
all symlinks in /mp3 now work on client even tho they are only actually
"correct" on server.
