On the wiki page, that paragraph starts with:

"Trunk builds" are from the "mozilla-central" development trunk, which 
is *different* from our release branches (like the branch that Firefox 
3.5 is built from).

So, in short, SMIL support isn't included in 3.5 -- the earliest Firefox 
release to include SMIL will probably be Firefox 3.7 (or whatever we 
call the Firefox release that uses Gecko 1.9.3).

If you'd like to test Mozilla's SMIL support right now, though, you can 
download a trunk build from here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central

(Also, incidentally -- the "svg.smil.enabled" pref is enabled by default 
on mozilla-central now.  So despite what that wiki page said, you won't 
need to manually toggle the pref anymore. I've updated the wiki page to 
reflect that.)
