My original theory was that both MIB and Jacob were Smokeys in their natural form.
However, now I'm doubting that theory. I think Smokey/MIB is a shapeshifter, yes. He takes the forms of others but does not "possess" them or inhabit their bodies.
If Jacob is in Sayid, and I'm not 100% sure that is (though, I think it would be pretty cool), then it would be different from what Smokey does. This would be a possession. Jacob using Sayid's body, not manifesting a likeness of Sayid.
EDIT: Also! Remeber that we've seen 2 version of Christian walking the island. One is wearing the same suit and sneakers that he was buried in, and one is dressed very differently. Maybe the differently dressed Christian was a shapeshifting Smokey and the Christian in coffin clothes was Jacob??
So, yes, it's different. If that's what's going on. This could all be something totally different. However, I do think (at this point) that
something is possessing Sayid. I don't think he died and was resurrected.
