You could automatically generate the nxclient session file, else I know of no way to passing it, but ...

... for the special case of computername you could enable the forwarding of the shared files and printers. (unless thats a security problem depending on your use case)

Then you could use on linux a command like:

smbhost -h 127.0.0.1:DISPLAY+3000 -L localhost

or so ...

I don't remember correct syntax but you get the idea ...
