Nope, there isn't currently an SMS interface to the Mahalo Answers service. I believe @jasoncalacanis said that he feels people want better, more in-depth answers to most questions, so SMS wasn't a great idea. There's always ChaCha for SMS questions.

You could, however, use Twitter to submit the question (and Twitter supports SMS)! All you have to do is sent an @reply to @answers with the question, and you'll receive answers @replied back to you. All you have to do is tweet something like this:

@answers If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

…and the question "If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?" would be imported. If/when it gets answers, @answers will respond with something like this:

@your_username New A: I'd live in California because that's where all the startups are! ... http://mhlo.me/abcd

(the link will point to the Mahalo Answers page)
