I stripped down the samba package by removing the swat binary (web 
based config utility) and all the related files (help files plus image 
files, etc) from the tarball and modifying the +CONTENTS file 
appropriately. The tgz file is now 9.1M as opposed to 16M for the one 
I sent before.

I installed this on my compact flash, and it takes 22M installed. I 
mounted /var/tmp over nfs during the install; otherwise, substantially 
more free space on the CF will be necessary during the install. Note 
that it installs no default config file, so the user will have to 
create the /usr/pkg/etc/samba directory and the smb.conf file within 
it before creating users. Also, it contains no auto start (i.e. rc.d) 
scripts. I start it manually using "nmbd -D" and "smbd -D". I tested 
it on my 680, and it works fine. For those experienced working with 
samba, it should work as expected.

I'll contact Torsten and Wrz off list to arrange sending it to them, 
and let them announce it. I'll leave it to them how they wish to 
differentiate this from the earlier version which included swat. I 
never tested swat, so I don't know if it actually works. My suggestion 
would be to make the stripped-down version the default and call the 
complete version something else.
