Okay, maybe not, but some Linux versions have some support (ksmbfs) for
the ability to effectively mount a drive from a computer running Windows
NT.  I think this is really neat, and preferable (for me) to running an
NFS server with NT.  I would personally much prefer taking advantage of
the capability if it existed with FreeBSD than with Linux.
