I don't know that samba can send messages using udp. You can send winpopup 
messages using tcp via smbclient:
smbclient -M destination-host  -U my-host -n my-host

For udp messages (for NT/XP/2000) I use ksalup with more or less problems... 
;( You should try it. 
http://ksalup.sourceforge.net

Sending messages wouldn't be a problem. Please send any info. about using 
ksalup.
