The scripts involved are /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs and
/etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh.  The first do the real mounting when the last
network interface is brought up, and the second wait for the first to
complete before continuing the boot.  Could it be that these scripts
break when /etc/network/interfaces isn't present?  Try adding 'set -x'
at the top of both to get debug output during boot.

Happy hacking,
