Do you have edited /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf to define the shares?
Do you have a guest account (pcguest?) on the FreeBSD machine? (required
for browsing).
Do you start smbd/nmbd in /etc/rc.local or via inetd? I'm doing always
in /etc/rc.local like 

/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -I a.b.c.d -B a.b.c.255  -D -G WORKGROUP
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
