My biggest problem with supporting Windows and Mac clients 
simulaneously was when Sun switched from Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 7 and 
the new 64-bit kernel interfaces broke the 32-bit network libraries 
netatalk wanted to link from.  (Years ago, now.)

Samba would not solve the original poster's problem; he wants to mount 
a UFS filesystem under Windows on the same machine, not remotely mount 
a UFS system from a running FreeBSD box....
