      Has anyone tried to install and configure the samba4wins server that is a lightweight wins server for VPN connections? Specifically i'm looking to get and browse windows shares across lan/IPSEC connections.

        It looks like it is in FreeBSD's Ports collection.  If someone is interested in making a package for it, it could be done.

          Is that even maintained anymore? I got the impression that it was an abandoned/inactive project.

            WINS in general was abandoned long ago, it's just widely misperceived that it helps with Windows network browsing cross-subnet.
