Try smbnetfs from ports. It's fuse based and seems to work very nice. If 
you have a large amount of shares floating in your network you want to 
restrict it to mount only the needed shares via the config file. 
Otherwise it will mount what it can find...

It plays nicely with kerberors. When your ticket expires you immediately 
loose access; when you renew it you gain access again. All without the 
need to unmount/mount. Just call smbnetfs once you have your ticket. You 
may even do this from your .profile.
