Using the mount command

What does it take to use the mount command to auto-mount a home NAS with a windows-samba share and make it look to the OS like local storage?

Does this require dev mode, Crouton or such like or can it be done out of the box?

I want to be able to play a music library held on the NAS as if it's been downloaded from Google Play Music. Note, I'm not interested in uploading it all to Google Music, or accessing a media server running on the NAS, or using the web access on the NAS.

Short answer. Lots of people ask for this. There are outstanding issues for the request marked "wontfix". Devs think it's a big project that probably won't get done in the short term partly due to resource constraints. Partly due to an ideological viewpoint that Chrome-OS is a network OS.
