Samba Access Like Windows Explorer

Is it possible to access samba shares much like windows explorer does?
The ultimate solution would be UNC names with browsing. I would very
much like to have my freebsd client see the network namespace in as
similar fashion to windows as possible.
I also would like to avoid having to duplicate the hierarchy of mount
points (for mount_smbfs) on every freebsd client in order to achieve
this. Nautilus access the samba shares this way, but I want this work
on the command line. Plus I prefer Thunar, which doesn't do samba
access at all.
As it stands, I think I will have to mount all samba shares on a freebsd
client into a top level directory named for the server name, with mount
points sprinkled about.
Thanks,
