If you installed samba via the port, you *don't* need to make changes
to /etc/inetd.conf. The port installs a startup script that invokes
persistent smbd and nmbd deamons on startup.

So what you're seeing is a conflict between the inetd.conf setup and
the persistent daemon setup. I'd recommend that you take out the
entries in /etc/inetd.conf.

Cheers.
