I'm not aware of anything, and I have similar 
problems - need to have DNS running before other 
stuff starts, DB backends running before 
dependent services start, etc.

along the lines of what you'd need to do if they 
were physical servers. The suggestion I recall 
was that you insert scripts in your startup that 
will wait until required external services have 
started before exiting and allowing the boot 
process to continue.
In my case, I'm considering building a hosts file 
with all the key entries I need, and distributing 
that to most of my machines. That would deal with 
most of my problems. Just to remind me of this 
to-do, we had a power cut last week and so had to 
do a "cold start" with all the fun that entails :(
