Sure.  Although I spearate the profiles by OS, here's
the same basic idea that you can use to consolidate
profile shares between XP and Vista.

[profiles]
        preexec = /etc/samba/scripts/create_profile %U %a
        path = /data/smb/c/profiles/%U/%a
        comment = Roaming user profile storage
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700
        profile acls = yes

[profiles.V2]
        copy = profiles
        browseable = no

Or you can use symlinks within a single share.

My experience has been that user profiles between
Windows releases don't work tool well.  So YMMV.
