I don't see why not.  Install Samba, join your NT/AD
domain (if you have one), put a mountpoint in
/etc/fstab for your W2K server, mount it, modify your
app to use the new mountpoint.

Specifics of this can be found in man smbmount,
/usr/share/doc/samba-X.X.X (might be different in HP
UX), Samba.org in Documentation, on Google, or in good
books (I like "Using Samba 2.0" (O'Reilly) out this
month or "Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" (Sams).
