This really isn't a "smali thing". This is more of an android resource thing. Smali doesn't know or care about android resources, all it knows about is whatever is in the dex file. The string value that you want is stored in the binary xml files in the apk. You might take a look at brutall's apktool - I think he has some resource related stuff, although I'm not positive about that. You might also check out AXmlPrinter2, which can convert those binary xml files back into textual xml.

The source code to smali is available. The procedure for building it is documented at http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/BuildProcedure
