Ok not sure how valid this is...

I stopped auto*mount*
I built and loaded the new autofs module.
restarted auto*mount* and confirmed autofs still worked.

I stopped auto*mount*
and created a quick and dirty chroot

/h/tmp/chroot/ with a full copy of /etc
and just enough of /lib and /libexec to run 
cat /h/tmp/chroot/tmp/tit.sh
#/bin/sh

/etc/rc.d/autounmountd start
/etc/rc.d/automountd start
/etc/rc.d/automount start

df -h /homes/sjg/tmp

when I ran that it hung at df
dmesg says

[ 511376.695498] WARNING: autofs_trigger_one: cv_wait_sig for /h/tmp/chroot/homes/ failed with error -3
