You don't have to create any nsb* device. SMB support should be compiled
in the kernel. Install the samba port. Edit smb.conf file properly and
reboot the machine.
Hope this should solve your problem.

Are you sure this is FreeBSD 4.5?  The nsmb* device is listed in
MAKEDEV, and works for me.  From /dev/MAKEDEV: 

nsmb*)
    unit=`expr $i : 'nsmb\(.*\)'`
    mknod nsmb$unit c 144 $unit
    ;;


If you're sure you have the right MAKEDEV script, make sure you're not
trying to run it with bash.  The sh you should be using is the Bourne
shell that shipped with FreeBSD.

I have noticed that when running in a SMP configuration, using the smbfs
kernel modules doesn't work.  You have to hardcode the SMB stuff into
the kernel.  However, on single CPU configs, what you're doing works.
