There is no clearly defined config file to set in/read from your fsck env
variable.
So, you have to modify startup scripts and set it there before fsck call.

# grep -ir fsck /etc
...
/etc/init.d/netfs
...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs
...
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
...

Example:
# cat /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
...
if [ -f /fastboot ] || strstr "$cmdline" fastboot ; then
        fastboot=yes
fi

# *************************************************************************
# read your fsck env variable here
# *************************************************************************

if [ -f /fsckoptions ]; then
        fsckoptions=$(cat /fsckoptions)
fi

...

if [ -z "$fastboot" -a "$READONLY" != "yes" ]; then

        STRING=$"Checking filesystems"
        echo $STRING
        fsck -T -t noopts=_netdev -A $fsckoptions
...
