Mac OS X Leopard does not discover and automatically mount NFS shares publsihed via Bonjour/ZeroConf as Tiger did. (If you own a Linux based server, you can publish all kinds of Bonjour servers via a daemon called avahi). 10.5 only discovers AFP and SMB Bonjour published shares as far as I am aware.
To work around this temporary bug/missing feature, I wrote a simple Ruby-based daemon which you can install so it starts up every time Leopard boots. This daemon simply continuously browses for and resolves published NFS shares and will mount them automatically if they are not already mounted for your user account. Let's hope Apple will fix this soon so we do not need anymore workarounds like this.
