Yes, a package called SAMBA (available from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/net/samba.tar.gz) provides Windows 95 and Windows NT connectivity to your BSD resources. You can use a package called netatalk, now bundled with most of the BSD variants, to provide AppleTalk connectivity. You should investigate the documentation that comes with each of these packages for more information on their configuration and use.
