It is a bad behaviour that the server refuses to start. As a workaround, just 
put one dummy client in the file (e.g. localhost) and have all the rest in 
the nas table. Other than for providing that one dummy client, the 
clients.conf file is obsolete if you use the nas table.
Alternatively, you could use the patch
http://bugs.freeradius.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203
which makes the server start when the nas table is used even when the 
clients.conf file is empty/nonexistent.
Alan DeKok once said he considers the patch for inclusion into the mainline 
server, but I didn't hear any further news on this since some time.
