Scott - an option you may wanna consider is setting up a vpn.  Once set
up, the vpn can allow samba traffic to your home machines, allow you to
map drives in winALL, etc.  Quite a bit more secure than just allowing
samba through your public interface too...  Another option might be
SFTP, the free program 'WinSCP3' has a kinda nice interface, and of
course sftp is part of freebsd already.

hope this helps a bit ~j
