Looks to me like you're trying to 'supervise' qmail-smtpd twice, or a
previous supervise process did not exit cleanly, and left lockfiles
hanging around. Try:
svc -d /service/qmail-send
rm /service/qmail-send/supervise/*
svc -u /service/qmail-send
Then try to find out what's starting the supervise process twice --
possibly you have a SYSV-type script that starts svscan, and then tries
to start all the supervised processes again...
