It should be pretty straightforward, e.g. the following works for me:
sirius:root:~# svcadm enable -s idmap
sirius:root:~# svcadm enable -s smb/client
sirius:root:~# mount -F smbfs //yuri at altair/Videos /mnt

And now I can browse the CIFS share mount on /mnt...

Take a look at nsmbrc(4) to automate things a bit.
