For the most part, you are best starting with the party you want to have at the end. A few exceptions to the rule are noted above.
One problem I'd forsee with switching a Mage to Samurai, is that you are loosing some levels of developing your sword skill. So a S&W wielding Samurai might be a way to go. But, with high Mage intelligence, your Samurai would learn skills rapidly if you wanted Muramasa.
I've always wanted to try a Faerie Alchemist for 19 levels, then switch to Ninja. That way the S&W skill developed as an Alchemist would be useful for the Cane of Corpus.
