winbind has no function without a domain controller, since it only works with users and groups, not hosts. > All I want to do is configure nsswitch.conf to resolve hostnames with = > netbios broadcast.

You are looking for nss_wins, you need to add "wins" to your hosts line of nsswitch.conf, assuming the rest (getting the libs in the right place) is done. Set a wins server in your smb.conf, and it should all work. Of course, you need a WINS server.
