If it's for your home network, i.e. if workgroup mode is sufficient,
it should only require two things:
1. Add pam_smb_passwd.so.1 to /etc/pam.conf
2. Choose/create a Solaris user account and run the passwd command.

As mentioned elsewhere, it's considered a security issue. Anonymous
connections are disabled on most implementations by default. It was
discussed during the CIFS PSARC case and we made a commitment not to
allow anonymous user sessions. It would require an ARC case to
introduce support for anonymous connections, which would probably
require additional justification (than provided above) to warrant
introducing a means of connecting to the system without traceable
credentials or authentication.

I believe opts refers to naming the share, i.e.
sharesmb=name=myname
