I inserted this right above the exit 0 entry in /etc/rc.local
Remember:

2. try your mount commands first, before you insert them
3. replace the ip with the ip of your nfs storage

# Set retry to the number of times you want the loop to repeat
RETRY=20

# As long as we have retries left...
while [ $RETRY -gt 0 ]; do
    # this will become true if 'ping' gets a response
    if ping -c 1 -W 1 192.168.0.1 > /dev/null ; then
        # insert all your mounts here
        mount -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/path/to/roms/snes /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes
        mount -t nfs 192.168.0.1:/path/to/roms/nes /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes
        echo "NFS mounted"
        RETRY=0
    # and if there's no response...
    else
        # set sleep higher if you want to wait more than 1sec between attempts
        sleep 1
        RETRY=$((RETRY - 1))
        if [ $RETRY -eq 0 ]; then
            echo "NFS Failed to mount, server sent no echo response"
        fi
    fi
done

Thanks to chrishsin for pointing me there.
