mount_smbfs(8) :
     -N      Do not ask for a password.  At run time, mount_smbfs reads the
             ~/.nsmbrc file for additional configuration parameters and a
             password.  If no password is found, mount_smbfs prompts for it.

/usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc :
[FSERVER:JOE]
# use persistent password cache for user 'joe'
password=$$1767877DF

I'm using -N for shares w/o passwords; I've never tried .nsmbrc password myself
