You could mount the remote disk in a subdirectory under /Volumes/
You would have to create the directory and then use one of the CLI mount commands to connect to the "server". I doubt that Finder will do it but it should be possible with "do shell script" commands.
I find that I have to do that, with mount_afp, to connect to my SE/30 running OS 7.5.5. I was originally surprised to find that I had to do a mkdir to create a directory in /Volumes/ before running the mount command. That mkdir could just as well have created a subdirectory first and it doesn't have to have the same name as the disk.
Now, you ask, will Finder still show the disk on the desktop? Whonoze? It might require an alias or a link in /Volumes/. Or maybe Finder will use the name you choose in /Volumes/ if Finder doesn't mount the disk in the first place.
