Use nullfs mounts.  This is how I get around this problem with multiple
diskless clients.  In your case, you'll want to do something like the
following.

   o Create an /export/ directory with subdirectories naming your different
     exports.

   o Append to fstab:
     /home/project1 /export/project1 null rw 0 0
     /home/project2 /export/project2 null rw 0 0
     /home/project3 /export/project3 null rw 0 0

   o Then make your exports look like this:
     /export/project1 <project1 hosts>
     /export/project2 <project2 hosts>
     /export/project3 <project3 hosts>
