You can't have multiple contexts for a file, so it's not possible AFAIK to have both the original context *and* public_content_rw_t. If your web server is only serving static data (nothing that requires write access to /var/www for the web server itself), you could relabel /var/www/* as public_content_t. If you have internal scripting like PHP that needs write access, you could use public_content_rw_t. However, if you're using cgi scripts that currently need httpd_script_exec_t, you'd need to generate a local policy module that allowed samba to read/write the httpd_* types.
