as osx is based on freebsd... is mount_smbfs still present? if so,
one of the easiest ways should be to share a folder on the windows
machine and the mount it from the osx box (see: man mount_smbfs).

alternatively you could install a nfs client (nfsAxe is one i recall) on
the windows box and use NFS to share files. 
i would prefer this one, since i don't like smb.

after all, why are _you_ trying to find out, how your kids can keep
things secret from you? let them figure out :-P

greetz,
jonas
