Narrative:

I was the first officer on flight from bna to dfw. This was our second leg of the sequence with this aircraft. After an uneventful flight, we were cleared to land on runway 17L. We then exited onto 'er' and received clearance to cross runway 17C with a right turn on taxiway M and hold short of runway 17R at 'el.' I accomplished the after landing checklist, started the APU in anticipation of shutting down an engine, and called the company shortly after exiting runway 17L. After crossing runway 17C and turning onto taxiway M, both captain and I noted a 'dirty sock' type smell. We agreed that the smell resembled that of a dirty water separator. Shortly thereafter, one of the flight attendants in the back called up to the #1 flight attendant and asked if he smelled anything. The #1 flight attendant then called me, and I stated that we had noticed the smell and it resembled that of a dirty water separator. The #1 flight attendant then stated that he thought the smell could be electrical in nature and then compared the odor to that of a vacuum cleaner. As I was relaying this information to the captain, a deadheading captain came on the rear interphone and stated who he was and that we had light smoke in the cabin. Flying captain then switched the recirculating fan and the air conditioning switches to the 'off' position. He requested that I contact another captain who was deadheading in first class. Deadheading captain confirmed over the interphone that there was smoke in the cabin and that the smoke was increasing in intensity. Flying captain ordered the evacuate/evacuation of the aircraft. I proceeded to call dfw tower and declared an emergency, and ordered crash fire rescue equipment. We then completed the evacuate/evacuation checklist. I exited the aircraft with fire extinguisher and pbe in hand to attend to the safety of the passenger.
