What features of Samba 4.0 do you need on such an old host? You really should upgrade the host, and not just the Samba installation. We strive to keep Samba running on really old systems, but there are limits. You will however need to work those out yourself by trial and error, as the packages at http://www.enterprisesamba.org/samba-packages/red-hats-rhel/ do not stretch back to RHEL 3.8. As RHEL 3.8 will not have a current python, you may need to either use the install_with_python.sh script, or try the autoconf build in source3/.

RHEL 3 I believe reached end of support (by RedHat, not Samba) in 2010. I
believe RHEL 4 has since reached end of support as well. So unless the client is
paying for RedHat extended life-cycle service or is off the network (unlikely he
wants to interface with Samba), he should be off of that platform ASAP because
he's no longer receiving any security patches.

Production suport for RHEL 3 ended in 2010, there is extended support available until January 30, 2014, but it's going to stink to be you trying to maintain that platform, especially since security updates have fallen well behind. EPEL has dropped support for it, the "mock" toolkit for building RPM's cleanly has even dropped support for RHEL 4, Amazingly, rpmforge is still doing some updates for RHEL 3, but system components will be in the rpmforge "extras" repository, so you'll have to dig around for them. Tools like "rsync" will benefite from the RPMforge update. If you need it, you can try my SRPM components for Samba 3.6.10 at https://github.com/nkadel/samba-3.6.10-srpm. But of course getting *git* to work on RHEL 3.x will be an adventure, itself, and don't even ask about other source control systems like Subversion. I'm the current author of the latest Subversion RPM's for RPMforge, for Subversion 1.6.x and Subversion 1.7.x I'd really encourage you to update to RHEL 5, which is current and maintained, or RHEL 6, which is the current release.
