    Regardless of feasability, having a Samba3 remotely accessible without VPN is a big "No" security wise... You may instead try to have an OpenVPN connection that makes the remote Samba3 server "appear as if part of your own lan", or make you appear part of its lan (ex: serverfault.com/questions/137933/…). That way, only have the OpenVPN port accessible (via proper authentification), and OpenVPN encryption would also provide privacy and a bit of security for the travelling packets between local and remote.
