IME, among commercial offerings, virtually all support SMB (via
Samba) but only the high-end (large & relatively costly) ones
support NFS also.  (A while back, the largest Buffalo that Fry's
had -- 4TB IIRC -- claimed to support NFS; all other NAS of any
brand mentioned only SMB and DELNI.)

You can use an inexpensive SMB-only NAS with a FreeBSD client,
but you'll need Samba on the client.
