Of course, those steps are only necessary if you want to share resources

CIFS (SMB client in the kernel) client has gone away in OSX 10.7.
OSX 10.7 still has an SMB/CIFS client, although the current beta
(10.7.2) isn't able to connect to a Samba-Share due to authentication
problems, but I don't know if this will affect the final version.
To have a SMB/CIFS-Share shown up in Finder you'll have to announce the
Service via Bonjour using port 445.
Samba3 itself is available as MacPorts Portfile:

Of course you will not have a posh GUI, and you don't need Samba to
connect to an SMB/CIFS-Share.
Bye for now.

Subject: [Samba] Samba for Mac OS X
Dear Samba Community,
Because Apple has transitioned away from the open-source SAMBA protocol for
their new 10.7 release of Mac OS X, I was wondering if there is a
third-party solution to fill this void. Because OS X is based on Darwin,
and Darwin is an open-source "free" version of UNIX, I thought there might
be a solution with an Aqua front-end that would make it easier for Mac
machines to connect to Windows networks. If you are able to answer my
question, I would be very happy!
Thank you so much, and have a great week,
--Daniel
