Yes, NTLM auth works for Squid running on Linux. See the Squid FAQ
for details.

You'll probably need to switch to Samba 3. Samba 3 is currently in
beta, but may be ready by the time you switch to Native Mode.

That said, all the info I've seen has shown that the beta Samba 3
works quite well - certainly well enough to test with. Remember that
with Samba 3 you use the Samba Winbind helpers, not the Squid Winbind
helpers.
