Well typically you'd assign a group folder, or drag a share (or set
of shares) to the "login items" MCX panel for a group of users or
computers in WGM.  There is a checkbox (at least in 10.4) that then
appears and says "mount with users/name and password".  With AD
integration it should use kerberos.  When the user logs in, they will
mount whatever shares are in the login items list for their group as
you define in WGM.  For "golden triangle" situations the way you'd go
about this is to nest an AD group inside an OD group, and then apply
the policy to the OD group.

In 10.5 this very well may change since apparently there is now going
to be an option to have the OD sit in front of another directory and
supplement the info... but the above is the way I'd probably do it
currently.

Another method of accomplishing SMB/CIFS share auto-mounting might be with a loginhook.  I believe AFP548 has some discussion, possibly articles, about share mounting via loginhooks.

We do auto-mounting of shares with MCX ‘login items’.  We configure 1 automounted SMB/CIFS share while all the others are AFP.

It works, though the SMB share tends to not behave itself when we try to manually eject/dismount it.
