With my Samba 3.0.13 (and previous back to 3.0.7 when i started) theres
a share possibility 'root prexec'. There you can enter scripts to run on
connecting to the share. You can write a tiny script to make home and
profile dirs on the fly, if they don't exist, based on users and groups,
and even chmod.
