Just my 2 penny worth, but...

I understand that this is annoying and would be good to have a solution on the 
system/KDE level, so NFS mounts are not locking system when they disappear.

It however rings in my head as to why in earth one would put an NFS service on 
a servers that are development / rebootable .... Logically, I would look at 
creating a single NFS server, and making your local machines to use that for 
any file sharing purposes..
