Netatalk... It's appletalk (or afpovrtcp). Build netatalk from ports and configure it to share the user home directory or a FS or a directory or whatever you want. On the Mac open the Chooser. Click on appleshare, enter the ip address of the Unix box running netatalk, login and Voila! you have a FreeBSD share mounted in Finder. Regarding printing... netatalk installs a printer daemon (papd?) that allows the Mac to print to the Unix printer just like it was plugged into a serial/usb port. Netatalk does take a bit of configuring (the latest versions are a lot better than the older ones), but it works so well that twiddling with the config files can actually be a pleasure.
