Certainly! (if your server is Linux). Netatalk. You can't directly talk to samba, but you can set up the same shares that you do in samba under netatalk. It's really not that difficult to set up. If you search on "netatalk" there are "howto" documents out there. I have shared both disk and printers this way.
