Basically the automounter will just step in and mount things when you try to
access files within the directory.

That probably tells you everything you need, but I'll just note the basics.
Basically you can have:
/etc/auto.master:
/remote /etc/auto.remote
/etc/auto.remote:
somemount -rw,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,udp nfsserver:/blah/blah
someothermount -rw,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,udp nfsserver:/foo/foo
chkconfig autofs on
service autofs start
Then you should be able to do:
cd /remote/somemount
When you do that, autofs will mount the share.
There's a lot more you can do, you really do need to read the documentation.
Executable automount maps and ldap based maps really give you a lot of
flexibility on how you can use it, but you probably need something very
simple.
