Did you also 

   make WITH_WINBIND_NSS=yes install

or just `make install' ?  Port make options must be set for every stage
(configure, build, install, package, etc).

This is not necessary.  If the port was correctly installed, you will
have /usr/local/lib/nss_winbind.so.1.  What is the output of

  pkg_info -L samba-\* | grep nss_winbind

Do you see anything in syslog at LOG_DEBUG level?
