Quite simply, this is not possible using any kind of standard method.  
You could loopmount a ext3 disk image from the samba share but you will 
then be going through 2 software layers to get to the filesystem which 
will be quite slow!

Best to get a NAS disk that supports NFS or to setup another server and 
export the drives via iscsi or ataoe
