 Yes.

 The router needs to forward the appropiate broadcasts. On a CISCO this
is the 'ip helper' command.
 I have machines on three subnets, seperated by CISCO gear, and all that
was done was to configure the routers. For Samba/SMB, the appropiate
name resolution broadcasts need to be forwarded.
 I have machines on the other end of a 2mb microwave link and ATM network
logging in fine, and the only thing done for that was a 'ip helper {address
of server} on the remote network's router.
 I assume most other routers have similar functionality.
