As you probably know, that is the SMB *server* side, and Samba supports the even newer SMB3 - not what you were looking for ... I doubt that there are many users of smbfs, which allows *client* access to Windows servers. You may want to have a look at FuseSMB, which might be easier to port to FreeBSD than teaching smbfs newer SMB protocols. Windows servers (at least 2012 and 2016) support NFS upto version 4.1, and if you can configure the servers to provide NFS access to the relevant data, that might be the easiest route for you.
