I am afraid that I can not be of much help, but here are some comments:

I think you may need to ask someone familiar with TCPware to assist you 
with some of the debugging.

Also I have never used Samba 2.0.3., but I think that oplock support may 
not be working in it.

There may be an option in smb.conf to turn it off, so that SMBD does not 
try to create the oplock break socket.

You would need to look at the source to determine what port it is trying 
to bind the oplock port to, and then use the TCPware utilities to see if 
something else already has the port.

Be aware that Pathworks 6.x is available for OpenVMS VAX, and 
interoperates much better with Windows NT domains than any known version 
of Samba for OpenVMS does.

There is an FAQ for Samba VMS that can be looked up at
