Quite possibly.  That's why I asked.  :)

...but which clients would actually do this, and under what conditions?

Of the Windows clients and servers, only W2K and XP-pro know how to work
with Kerberos (does /Me handled Kerberos auth?).  I *imagine* that those
systems use port 445 instead of 139 whenever they can.  If both client and
server know how to handle Kerberos then they likely also know how to use
port 445.

So, unless I'm totally insane, the likelihood of Kerberos auth being used 
over port 139 is low.
