Setting umask on NFS mounts

I don't see any up to date information on setting umasks with 10.6. We use NFS SAN storage for several folders, mounted using the new NFS Mounts feature of Disk Utility and the SAN and Mac are playing nicely for UID and GID mapping even using our Active Directory LDAP groups and accounts.

However, it creates everything as 755 (umask 0022, the system default) and I'd like to change that umask to 002 to create 775's instead. Nothing for 10.4 or 10.5 seems to apply here (NSUMask, etc.) and it doesn't appear to be a NFS Mount option, either.

NFSv4 and ACLs are not really a good option for me since it's a multiprotocol SAN environment we want to keep NFSv3 permissions bits for UNIX/Linux/MAC and ACLs for Windows. Any ideas how to set the default umask, or at least a way to set the umask for each mount?
