Yes, Samba TNG has been restructured.  I am not really familiar
with the Samba code or RPC etc., but I've compiled Samba TNG and
tried it out briefly.  It has separate daemons for various
things instead of just an smbd and an nmbd.  Some subdirectories
of the Samba TNG code that look interesting (just based on the
directory names) are:
        lsarpcd, msrpc, rpc_client, rpc_parse, rpc_server,
        rpcclient
