BSD doesn't do that by default. AFAIK, you'll need to install and configure SAMBA (which is in ports). As for the original question, I saw a config by a guy named Horen (I think, from NW Europe someplace) for FVWM which looked almost exactly like Windows XP, down to the icons. There's also FWVM95, which is supposed to look like Win95. And, I've not seen XFWM mentioned yet, which is pretty user friendly and a tad more lightweight than KDE or Gnome ... which could be important if you're talking about "recycled" hardware.
