This is nmbd's job. Despite any docs that say otherwise, the only
way to get nmbd to publish itself is to run it as a daemon - *not*
from inet.
I have /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nmbd.sh on my dev box:
echo -n ' nmbd'; /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D -C Development
If you have more than one interface, you may also need an
"Interfaces = " line in smb.conf, say
Interfaces = 10.0.0.1/24

This shouldn't make a difference - but be warned, if you bring that
machine down, you screw up all the other M$ machines... it makes me
sick :-(
My NT boxes CPU melted a little while ago and I had to put an alias
on one of the FreeBSD boxes interfaces for the dead machine,
otherwise I was suffering regular ~100second pauses on all the M$
machines.
I couldn't figure out any magic incantation to tell the remaining
boxes THE NT SERVER IS DEAD ! (no matter how load I shouted).
