Though you should install newer samba package,

Newer samba package automatically create those directories, including
a lock directory "/var/run/samba".

Your machine can't resolve your hostname.

/etc/rc.conf		check hostname.
/etc/hosts		check hostname and IP address.
/etc/nsswitch.conf	check resolver should use.

Or DNS configuration if your hostname is resolved with DNS.  These
depend on your network configuration; is it private LAN or connected
to Intenret directory, and so on.

It seems that the probelem isn't purely samba's problem but basic
network configuration.
