We could achieve something similar with systemd by providing a target
unit 'nfs.target'. The unit would pull the daemons using requirement
dependencies.

This could be another target 'nfs-secure.target'. It would pull
'nfs.target' + more daemons.

The users would start and enable these target units instead of
the units of the individual daemons.
