There is no support in the James distribution for sending an SMS message.
Some mobile operators can provide you with an email address to which emails
can be forwarded which they then forward as an SMS message to your mobile.
I've no idea if this facility is provided by any Brazilian operators.

Alternatively, armed with a spare mobile phone that supports a connection to
your PC, you could write a Mailet that leverages the Wireless Messaging API
portion of the Java ME stack to send the message directly. I admit this
requires rather more work and knowledge.

Sub'd to the list awhile ago and have been lurking, but thought I'd 
mention that this is exactly how I'm using James.  However we also run 
various SMS gateways ourselves (we have a SOAP based API for commercial 
use)).

A simple mailet works great for this.  Other than that, your best option 
would be sending the message out using a mobile connected to your serial 
port, or some bluetooth wireless messaging API (like Steve mentioned).

One problem with this is not being able to track the return path of 
messages if your users reply to an SMS.  You're effectively stuck with a 
one-way messaging system.  The through put of using a mobile may not be 
so great either...
