Jean-Simon Pendry's paper on amd refers to the use of "ypcat -k"

against the "master map" to get the list of mount point/amd map
correspondences, and using that list as command-line arguments to start
amd.

When I tried to do this with the existing /etc/rc* scripts, I found that
I couldn't do this by modifying only /etc/rc.conf:  that file gets
sourced very early by /etc/rc, well before any networking functionality
is present, let alone NIS.  Further, I wasn't able to figure out a way
to use various levels & types of quoting to defer evaluation of the
string to a point subsequent to NIS initialization.

As a result, I resorted to hacking /etc/rc.network -- but I did it in a
way that ought to be reasonably general, and avoid breakage for anyone
else.
