No. I use entries in /etc/fstab. I dont think any file managers actually
recognise NFS.
If you don't wanna hard wire mounts, make up little scripts to invoke
'mount'  that run as root.

NOT so trivial

Reemeber NFS was created to make users home directories common across
machines along with centralised user/uid/gid services of yellow pages.
It is a client server implementation.

SMB on WinPcs was developed as a peere to peer network accessible by users
