I think this is an example of the command you want:

mount_smbfs -W [workgroup name] -I [windows box IP address]  //[valid windows 
box user]@[netbios name of windows box]/[the share name you want to mount] 
/[Freebsd mount point]

You'll be prompted for a password; there is also a way to have it read the 
windows password from a FreeBSD file.

This is all covered in man mount_smbfs(8)
