You can use nfs. The port number is 2049, I think. You'll have to run the nfs server on the host with the drive and then you'll need to export the file system via exportfs. You can do a man of exportfs to get the syntax. You should also do a man nfsd. You can actually have it listen on any port you want if you run it yourself. Don't run it as root. That would be insecure. The two manpages I mentioned will also lead you to some interesting reading on the subject.

I am running a local Redhat Linux 3.x server and have a *nix based remote server that has Samba setup on it. Is there a way to mount the remote drive to the local server? If so, can you lead me to the right directions for doing this? The remote server is behind a firewall, so if it is possible, I would also need to know the ports to open up on the firewall to allow me in.
