Sort of.  It is a concept that extends beyond Samba from Apache HTTPD,
eg:

http://httpd.apache.org/dev/whiteboard/process-model.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/

It maps to this option to 'samba':
-M, --model=MODEL                  Select process model

Naturally better text would be most helpful in both spots, if you have
some ideas.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
