It is intentional that they are not currently SMF properties. The
properties that are used and the interface is in sufficient flux that it
was deemed not the right time yet to do this.
However, the properties are documented for the moment in the pkg.depotd
man page, and you can easily edit the cfg_cache file or manually start
the depot server with the necessary options to set the configuration.
There should also be an administrative tool soon to change these.
