On the Linux box I have access to (Debian 2.2) there is actually a choice:
you can run samba either way. I do not know which is the default because the
sysadmin may have edited the configuration files, but the startup script
checks if Samba is run from inetd or not. I do not know what is the default
on FreeBSD, either. I do not have samba installed and consequently I do not
have the netbios port open, either.

If you are sure you are not running samba now, you could use eg lsof from
ports to find out what file (if any) is actually using the network socket.
