The following worked for me ... but realize that when you install the 
Smartcard Services
package it will overwrite any existing contents of /Library/Security/tokend

If you already have smartcard support software installed, such as 
Centrify, you'll want to
backup the contents of /Library/Security/tokend, first.  (I had Centrify 
5.4.0 installed,
and I expected it to break after installing the MacOS 10.12 Smartcard 
Services package.
It did.)

First, open up System Preferences, click "Security & Privacy" and then 
select the General tab.
Note the "lock" in the lower left of the window.  Unlock it using 
Administrator credentials.
Leave the window visible as you double-click the previously downloaded 
Smartcard
Services 2.1.2 [OSX 10.12].pkg file.  You should get a message about the 
file not being
opened because it's from an unidentified developer.  Click Ok.  Now, 
refer back to the
Security & Privacy window, and you'll see a message about the package being
blocked and why ... but there should now be an "Open Anyway" button.  
Click it.

You'll then get additional warnings and multiple opportunities to change 
your mind.

At this point, you're trusting that the downloaded package really is 
what it claims
to be and not something malicious.  Before you proceed you should ask 
yourself
if you're ok with this being the last operation ever performed on that 
computer (as
you've known it).
