If you want to collectively make it so that NFS and its counterparts do
not start up at boot time, then use chkconfig nfs off. If you just want
them to start at boot up and then you stop and start them on your own
use service nfs start, and service nfs stop.

Try chkconfig --list
You can use: chkconfig --list | grep 3:on
to see what will start at boot.
Use: chkconfig <name> off
to inhibit what ever you want to start up and
/etc/init.d/<name> stop
to stop same interactively.
You'll need to experiment a bit, use man, to do some research to
figure out how to 'tune' a system.
