Hmm, I don't fully understand (I have no clues about ltsp), so let me
ask for details:

* Are these mount-points or root-filesystems to be mounted (== constant
data)?
* Is this data which customizable (== configurable)?
* Is this data which is automatically generated or constant data to be
shipped as part of rpms.
* Is this automatically regenerated?
* Is this data machine dependent?

Depending on the answers to these questions even a directory
below /etc/ltsp or /usr/share/ltsp or %{_libdir)/ltsp could make sense.

Dunno what NBD is, but this sounds like volatile data.

Then /var/lib/ltsp (or subdirs thereof) most likely looks like at least
a suitable candidate to getting started.
