Hi,
We have some notes for this on the website: thinkboxsoftware.com/deadline-6-3dsmax/#FAQ

Can I Perform Fume FX Simulations With Deadline®?
Yes. To do so, follow these steps:
Your render nodes need to have Fume FX licensed properly, either with a “full” or “simulation” licenses. This requirement is the same if you were rendering with Backburner.
Before you launch the 3dsmax submission script, make sure that the Fume FX NetRender toggle button is “ON” in the Fume FX options in 3dsmax.
Before you submit the job, make sure the “Disable Progress Update Timeout” option is enabled under the Render in the 3dsmax submission window.

Note that the upcoming v6.1 release adds comprehensive FumeFX sim progress to the Slave/Monitor. (This requires the latest version of FumeFX as well). Currently, no other renderfarm manager has this functionality. I should know, as I added it!
