I have used Smartmenus for several months and is very happy. But can I get Google to index the pages I link to in the menu items?

Google cannot index the links in the menus because the menus are built dynamically.
An effective and simple solution, which will make your pages visible to Google (and also greatly improve the accessibility of you site) is to create a site map page containing all the links to the pages on your site. Then you can simply place a link to that site map page in the footer of your pages (or at least on your index page).
This is basically the simplest and easiest-to-do solution although there are some better approaches when it comes to accessibility- like creating index pages for each site section with all the links for the current section listed on the section's index page.
