Is it possible to run Samba on Xp Pro
No.
You could run Samba in a *nix VM sitting on top of a XP host.
Performance is going to suck, but it can be done.

If you go this route, make sure to set XP performance setting for
background services rather than programs.

/I'll never understand Windows memory management... it seems like the
more hardware you throw at it, the less it uses. I've had programs that
I haven't used hours cached in memory while I'm just short of thrashing
with VMs running, and by the sounds of the harddrive it's not doing much
of a read ahead. Sorry, just wasted about an entire day babysitting
virtual machines that moved at the same pace with 256 MB RAM as a full
gig, since they were starved while RAM essentially sat idle. I/O bound
for linear reads on separate channels, and yet a gig of RAM sits as
cache for stale programs from hours ago/.
