NetBIOS should only be open if your running samba.  Incase you don't know
NetBIOS is a part of windows' (at least its mostly used with
windows) network communication protocol for filesharing and printer
sharing etc.  You should be able to see the daemon running as 'nmbd' and
'smbd'  you'll want to kill both of them.  However its obviously being
started at bootup time in your case, i'm not sure where freebsd would keep
the startup for samba, probably /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.local.  If you
don't find samba running i don't know whjat else it would be... i've never
seen anything but samba use it.  You could find out using 'sockstat'.
