I'm very interested in suggestions. I've been running this as a script:

#!/bin/bash
#The goal of this script is to create an SSH tunnel for mounting
#Samba shares from remote locations. What follows is a description
#of the options used to achieve this effect:

#-E preserves the user environment, overriding the root environment
#invoked by sudo (which is necessary to assign ports such as 139)
#-f forks the ssh process into the background, freeing up the terminal 
in which it was run.
#-F forces the use of the user's SSH config file (specified here in the 
default location)
#-N declares that no command will be run on the remote server, which is 
necessary to fork (-f)
#-L creates the bind between remote and local ports, specified here as 
139 to handle Samba

sudo service smbd stop
sudo -E ssh -f -F /home/USERNAME/.ssh/config REMOTESERVER[ok to use 
abbreviations from .ssh/config here] -N -L 139:localhost:139

echo
echo -n "Press Enter to exit this script gracefully."
read answer

echo "Restarting Samba daemon and removing port-bind. Goodbye!"

#sudo servide smdb start
exit 0

I haven't actually figured out a way to remap the port bind, though. 
Never looked into using SSHFS. Seems a lot easier than this, and still 
easier than using a VPN, naturally, which is way I wrote this script in 
the first place.
