It's possible, but the Samba Team isn't going to do it.

3.0.x was released many years before Win7, and we are
concentrating our resources on ensuring the latest
release works well. We don't have the time to do back
ports to versions this old. Vendors who ship 3.0.x might
be willing to do this for you, for a cost.
