Alas, mount_smbfs does not support -o username and similar -o options. 
mount_smbfs was forgotten, dusted and covered by fat bunch of web project, 
which didn't updates since Samba 2.2.x. It completely ignores Samba config 
files and use their own file /etc/nsmb.conf and .nsmbrc at homedir. Some 
howto written by me, how to bring up to mounting SMB shares with FreeBSD you 
can find at sysutils/mountsmb2 port.

Also:
man nsmb.conf
man mount_smbfs

That's all is a very sad. FreeBSD lacks much with dropping support modern 
tendences with SMB/CIFS...
