There's already precedence in global.tftp.windowsize, so global.nfs.port
is probably a better name than squeezing it into global.net.
This parameter is not yet in any release, so the fallout is fairly
limited.
While at it, mention it in the documentation.

+For user convenience, the default ``automount`` init script runs

+up and file operations will be forwarded to a host specified by global

+- ``/mnt/tftp``: will use ``$global.net.server`` as TFTP server
+
+- ``/mnt/nfs``: will use ``$global.net.server`` as NFS server
+ and ``/home/${global.user}/nfsroot/${global.hostname}`` as nfsroot.
+ By default, a RPC lookup will be conducted to determine mount and
+ NFS ports, but these can be overridden together using a user-specified
+ by means of ``global.nfs.port``. The latter is equivalent to specifying
+ ``-o port=$global.nfs.port,mountport=$global.nfs.port`` as argument
+ to the :ref:`mount command <command_mount>`.
