Illumos has more modern SMB support in kernel.  FreeBSD already uses 
Illumos CDDL-licensed code via zfs and perhaps experience with the zfs 
port would help with reusing Illumos code.  I don't know if starting 
with the Illumos SMB CDDL-licensed code fits with the objectives of 
the FreeBSD project.  Obviously, it would be a lot of work.
