Is it in dmg format? Upload it to the software record as you normally would, and then create a managed install for it. It usually works with the default settings.

I just installed the free version in a 10.7 VM using the instructions below.

Do this:
1. Install on one machine, force a check in (sudo /Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/bin/runkbot 2 0)
2. Find Sophos Anti-Virus in Software Inventory and upload the savosx_80_he.dmg file directly to it as an Associated File.
3. Create a Managed Install selecting "Sophos Anti-Virus" in the dropdown. Set it up for machines as you need and deploy it.
