no.

smbcquotas does support quota management for "root" NTFS shares,
for instance, if you have w2k server and both C: and C:\Some_folder are 
shared, You can manage quotas on "C:", but You cannot manage quotas with 
smbcquotas on "C:\Some_folder", just because quota doesn't apply 
per-share, on most filesystems (UFS, NTFS, EXT3) quota is "per 
filesystem".

split your drive onto several filesystems and there's no other way to get 
quota support "per share"
