I forgot about another way to do this - If you create 
/sbin/ifdown-pre-local and have it unmount the Samba shares before 
bringing the interface down. The interface is passed to the script, 
so you could do a test on the interface if you want. You can use the 
-t option of umount so that you only unmount the Samba shares, and 
not have to worry about what shares are mounted. (That way, if no 
shares are mounted, you do not get an error message.)
