All I can tell you is that it is definitely possible using FreeBSD.
The FreeNAS folks do exactly that as does the company I work for.

I do not have the time to spend helping you get it going and I note
that you do not tell us which version of Samba you are using, but it
does work.

Have you tried setting the permissions correctly on the directory you
are sharing? Do you know if it is getting Access Denied trying to
access the Share or trying to create a file.
