Read the man pages for the automounter.  Start with automount(1M).

Yes, the system comes by default with that "crap," but (a) you certainly
are under no obligation to use /export/home if you don't like it and (b)
the mechanism that underlies it is far more general than just auto_home.
 It allows you to trigger configured mounts based on file system access,
and handles fail-over, platform-related variable expansion, and
directory service integration.
