This means 

1. If TCP connection request to netbios-ssn port come, then execute
   smbd for each request.

2. If UDP datagram to netbios-ns port come, then execute nmbd and wait
   for its termnation.

So,

This is a logical result.

You could do it,

# kill `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`

Anyway, I suggest you that install samba with package system (if not),
and instead of executing from inetd, use startup scripts in it for
smbd and nmbd.

After install samba package,

1. Copy /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/nmbd and  /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/smbd into /etc/rc.d.
2. Add those lines in /etc/rc.conf.

nmbd=yes
smbd=yes

   Or, create /etc/rc.conf.d/nmbd and /etc/rc.conf.d/smbd, each
   containing "nmbd=yes" and "smbd=yes" in it.
