Yep, at least if you're doing a compile.  I've not used RPM's or other 
package installers so I don't know how they behave.  The "make install" 
command will copy your existing binaries to ".old" files so they won't be lost.

The running binaries and the new ones on the server will coexist, at least 
in my experience where I've had to do this a number of times.

None that I'm aware of, although you'll want to check the documentation to 
make sure.

The client will automatically reconnect if the connection is broken.

I can't speak for everyone, but I've done a number of "on the fly" upgrades 
this way, and waited for a relatively quiet time to restart the master smbd 
and nmdb.  There were never any (reported) problems associated with doing this.
