From the header of /etc/init.d/nfs:

I believe that's meant to keep nfs from running until the network and the port mapper are initialized.
The portmapper (or in 11.1 rpcbind) listens to "all available interfaces". This means it can start even if only localhost is up.
Unless you added your network interface to MANDATORY_DEVICES in /etc/sysconfig/network/config, either by editing the config file directly or by setting the interface as mandatory in YaST, the startup script is not going to wait for it, it will allow it to initialize in the background.
That could be it. The hint in /etc/sysconfig/network/config: # /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S*network start -o debug fake | grep MANDAT shows three lines of output including MANDATORY_DEVICES, all of them empty. [ By the way, if you're in a position to do something about this, the recipe shown there should be fixed, since all the output from /etc/init.d/network, at least with the invocation given, goes to standard error. Hence a 2>&1 redirection is needed so grep gets the output. ]
