When I installed samba, the startup stuff was placed in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d 
(as was the startup script for apache).  I just copied these into 
/etc/rc.d and did the rc.conf change.  

Maybe someone could comment on why these don't get placed into 
/etc/rc.d by make install, or why the rc startup stuff doesn't look there.

I don't think you do, but I'm far from an expert on NetBSD.  I think you
can just do /etc/rc.d/samba start (if you've moved the samba script).
