NBP was not engineered to run over the wide Internet. Samba supports NetBIOS over TCP, so it can be done, but: 1) The performance will be horrible due to Internet latency. 2) You must have a WINS server running so the remote system can translate the NetBIOS name to a IP name. I don't know of any WINS servers for UNIX, not to say they don't exist.
