I have not tried it, but GENERIC kernel doesn't have SMBFS
and /dev/MAKEDEV doesn't create /dev/nsmb? nodes by default.

You have to build a new kerenl with the following definitions:
---
file-system	SMBFS
pseudo-device	nsmb
---

and then create /dev/nsmb? nodes:
---
# (cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV nsmb)
---
