I don't think so.  Microsoft offers a free CIFS client for DOS:
   ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/Clients/MSCLIENT/DSK3-1.EXE
   ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/Clients/MSCLIENT/DSK3-2.EXE
This does not provide a peer server on the DOS machine, but just a client.  
If you need peer server capability on DOS, you can buy Microsoft Workgroup 
Add-On for DOS, about $50.  In theory, since Caldera OpenDOS is fully 
compatible with Microsoft DOS, you should be able to run the Microsoft client 
on it, but I've never tried that.
