But he has exactly the opposite problem - WinXP host and FreeBSD guest.

I've set up a share between a FreeBSD host and a Win7 guest and it was
trivial - no samba required on the host at all.  It's described in the
VirtualBox documentation.

But this may be a good hint.  Maybe he can set up samba on his FreeBSD
guest and connect to the WinXP host that way.
