smbd/nmbd have their own inetd.conf entries in 4.0-RELEASE:

wibbly# grep "mbd" *
inetd.conf:#netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/smbd smbd
inetd.conf:#netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/sbin/nmbd nmbd

I also see nothing else regarding the two in /etc, /etc/defaults, or the
like.

checking on my 3.4-RELEASE box, results are the same.
