It could be.  I've never tried mount_smbfs in a Domain, only a Workgroup.
I'm not saying it won't work, I just don't know.  I do know there
is some magic in how SMB passwords get encrypted and that it is possible
for FreeBSD to do it differently than the Win machine and thus the mount
will fail.

One more thing to try would be to create a share that requires NO password
and see what happens then.
