How to mount NT partition over network to FreeBSD and serve from FTP?

I am not sure how to go about doing this, but basically my frontend (router/firewall) to the internet runs FreeBSD. I would like to mount an NT partition from an XP machine on the network to a directory on the FreeBSD machine and serve it over FTP. Is this possible? If so, what do I use? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

 
I neglected to mention, I am also on a static IP. I currently use dns2go's client under windows to update the DNS servers when my ip changes. Is there a reasonable substitute for FreeBSD?
 
I believe you will need smbfs and/or samba, I'm not too sure which. AT has a nice Samba FAQ that you might find usefull. You can easilly 'serve' it via an ftp. Usually what I do (because I'm lazy) is add a user, but don't copy the dot* files and make their home directory the directory you want to share. Then add that user to /etc/ftpchroot. You might also be interested in the smb2www port. That way you can serve your samba shares using an http protocal and still use usernames and passwords (via .htaccess, etc).
