In /boot/loader.conf:

libiconv_load="YES"
libmchain_load="YES"
smbfs_load="YES"

The libiconv and libmchain modules are necessary for support of smbfs;
they don't get automatically get loaded.  (A potential project for anyone
with the skills.)

If you want to load it up now without rebooting:

# kldload libiconv
# kldload libmchain
# kldload smbfs

'kldstat' should then show you something like:
# kldstat
