I personally don't use Apples/Macs, but it's my understanding that their OS is basically a customized version of *nix or something similar. If that's true, you should be able use the mount command to mount the remote folder.

For example, the command below will mount a folder named "shared_folder" that is on a system named "windows_machine" using the folder /mnt/folder as the local mount point.

You might need to add a -t option and specify either sambafs or cifs to get it work.
