If you are going to smoke cook them as opposed to curing it is probably
OK to just thaw and smoke. If you are talking curing and cold smoking,
I'm not sure. Used to be a smokehouse here that would not accept meat
that was frozen. Not sure why, but it may be because the cellular
structure is changed and it would not cure properly.
Do you mean "was" on arrival, or "ever had been"? If the
former,they'd likely not want it around thawing ...
Keep in mind, if you are not curing they will not taste like ham and
bacon as we know it from the store, but will be smoked pork. Not that
it is a bad thing, but it is a different taste completely.
Well, I did smoke-roast thick pork chops two or three times this
past summer (not previously frozen afaik, but not brined much : our store
pork all is, but I always keep it a few days in the fridge, wrapped in
many paper towels, and changing those often, before I cook it). Anyway,
those all came out tasting very much like good ham -- and at all events
*very* tasty.
So I'm fairly sure of getting something I'll like, as long as I
have no disasters ...

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
