i just learned a great trick!
smb://workgroup;username@netbiosname/share
it's a little slow, but it works! more info at the macdebate forum. i wonder if it works the other way; i guess i won't know until i get a dns entry.
only two problems:
1. my 'go' menu isn't remembering other servers, including idisks (& won't let me add to 'favorite servers');
2. if i access an alias of a server connected via smb, the finder tells me it can't access it because the alias is broken, but then connects me anyway.
