The only thing you need in rc.conf is samba_enable="YES".

If you do a dmesg -a, do you see any Samba related startup errors? If 
not, how about the log files in /var/log/samba?

It sounds like Samba is failing at startup because it requires 
something that's not available yet (like DNS). After your machine is 
finished booting, it has the environment it requires.
