That seems like an odd combination, but I guess Apple have an SMB extension perhaps?
I know there is netatalk support for Spotlight and it too uses GNOME tracker as its backend.

I think when I looked at this I had to update and build some stuff that wasn't in ports and then I couldn't get it working so I gave up..

Looking again I think you would need to create a port for https://developer.gnome.org/libtracker-sparql/stable/
