You need to pass in a custom file containing the correct configuration at boot 
time with grub.
I did a small writeup[1] on how to do that here:
http://blog.shalman.org/overriding-driver-config-files-on-smartos/

If it were me, on my USB stick I would create a text file named
      system.nobeep
containing that "exclude: pit_beep" line.

Then I would modify my boot entry in menu.lst to look like:
title Live 64-bit (text)  
   kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix -B
      console=text,smartos=true  
   module /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive type=rootfs
      name=ramdisk
   module /system.nobeep type=file name=etc/system

(If you prefer a serial console vs vga, etc. then obviously adjust
      to taste.)
The important detail is to add the "type=rootfs name=ramdisk" to
      the boot_archive line
as well as adding the line for the extra file.

I haven't tested this for turning off console beep so I'll be
      curious to hear if it works.
