The Fedora autofs is very close to the upstream autofs and plus map
inclusion and nsswitch integration is not present in version 4.

Jeff Moyer has done a lot of work on this and is working to push the
RHEL autofs patches upstream now. However, I'm still neck deep in fixing
version 5 bugs so it's a bit hard to get an update to version 4 out.

I think your only option at the moment is to use the RHEL or CentOS
version and exclude autofs from yum updates.

Doesn't matter what you put in nsswitch.conf.

Focus is version 5 at the moment and plus map inclusion and nsswitch
integration are standard features.

Get FC6 if you want to try out version 5.
