Create the file in the client's root directory

    /fastboot

This will prevent the initial fsck. Comment out the removal of this file
in one of your boot init (rc files and/or files in /etc/init.d) files
(that depends on which distribution you are using).

Also in your /etc/fstab file the fsck pass arguments should be 0, this
will prevent fsck at remount and fsck-ing the other nfs file systems.
You should have something like that:

    /server:/export/client_root  /      nfs      defaults  0 0
    /proc                        /proc  proc     defaults  0 0
    /server:/export/client_usr   /usr   nfs      ro        0 0
   ....
