no truly small smb-client itself. Do you work with an HD-install? I use an old PC for partys playing mp3s. Since my roommates got stucked with win I use LinNeighbourHood - a very easy to use smb-client-"browser".
Should work with a simple apt-get install . I cannot say how big i gets with all its dependices though. I think it's pretty small and only adds what is needed...
Hope this helps (a bit),
Enthusi

If you don't need a client, but only want to browse the windows partition occassionally, search the forums for low fat no fat samba and read that thread, if you haven't already. A few simple commands will do what you want.
