This is currently not available, and it sounds very special and racy
to support it upstream I think. Sorry!

If you want to hack something up like this, I'd recommend writing a
timer unit/cronjob that creates a file $PATH after $SECONDS after boot. Then, add
a drop-in file to /etc/systemd/system/$MOUNTUNIT.d/foobar.conf, and
write into it:

[Unit]
ConditionFileExists=!/the/file/you/create

That way the mount unit will always be queued, but will actually be
conditionalized out $SECONDS after boot, if you follow what I mean.

Hope this is helpful.
