Samba would run on FreeBSD.  It is compatible with Windows networking;
the clients can't tell it from any other Windows networking server.

File and print serving are no problem with Samba.  The nice thing is
that when you want to try more global protocols, the software is either
already there or easily available through ports.

For instance, you decide you'd like to put up an internal web page for
announcements.  Install Apache from ports, and go.
