In most cases the x11-server service is not run via SMF. While we converted some of the common configuration to SMF, startup and shutdown is still normally handled by either dtlogin or gdm, using their own mechanisms, not SMF, so it won't show up in the svcs output. Only if you've specially configured your system to run a raw X server, without a login gui, will you see an SMF service instance for it.
