Ed. Note: This is interesting as otherwise you'll always be visible over WINS/NetBIOS whether you're actually sharing via SMB or not. 

Finally I believe I found the magic command to disable WINS on Leopard to stop it from showing on a Windows network.

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server RegisterWINSName -bool false
