listed below is my current setup:

MKTG folder on Server1
PRODN folder on Server2
ACCTG folder on Server3

is it possible to link them all up like:

users\MKTG
users\PRODN
users\ACCTG

so that all of the users will only access the USERS folder and then choose
which folder they want to access?

if it's possible, what are the steps needed to accomplish it?

thanks in advance.

Kool. In that case you can create the following links under your root "DFS"
users\MKTG pointing to \\Server1\MKTG
users\PRODN pointing to \\Server2\PRODN
users\ACCTG poinging to \\Server3\ACCTG

NOTE: you can have links of this form "users\----"

So users will now access \\RootServer\DFS\users\MKTG etc.

Sure, just create a "users" folders in your DFS tree and
create DFS links within it to your shared folders on the
three servers.
