OK, ignore this. Totally silly error on my side and it has nothing to
do with smbfs or even FreeBSD, it was... ahem, hardware related. As in
a cable being half-plugged in, half not. Damn 8P8C/RJ45 connectors
breaking... ;)

issue. Currently compiling world+kernel so I'm not very willing to try
it right now.
