You didn't specify which OS/Distro, but on my Redhat machines, I edit the
/etc/init.d/autofs init script directly. There is a section in the init
script that allows you to specify mount options and daemon options.

Ie:
#
# We can add local options here
# e.g. localoptions='rsize=8192,wsize=8192'
#
localoptions=''

# Daemon options
# e.g. --timeout 60
#
daemonoptions=''
