Partially true.  

The winbindd daemon actually works fine under fbsd. 

If you want the auto-magical user management features of winbind, NSS support
is required. libnss_winbind will not currently work under fbsd.

If all you need is a pam auth source, then pam_winbind works fine if you've
updated the port in the past few days.

Winbind also works OK for use with Squid 2.5 's upcoming winbind authentication
helpers.
