No, I haven't tried OpenWRT yet - I just love FreeWRT ;)
There is one weird thing going on though, lspci reports a 56k modem in the 
500gP:
0:06.0 Modem: Broadcom Corporation BCM47xx V.92 56k modem (rev 09)

That is quite funny. But

Done :) After some hours of googleing and hacking makefiles I finally got 
Samba 3 running.
There was a forum post ( http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=65605 ) 
where somebody posted a build package for OpenWRT and I changed the Makefile 
so it would compile with FreeWRT 1.0.3.
My freewrt-image.bin is only 5 MB with samba3 (and lots of other stuff), this 
is much less than I expected. If you want you can have a look at it at:
