$unlockdefinebones is a QC command available in all 
Source games. Normally, the $definebone definitions are always used for the default positions and rotations of the skeleton. Setting $unlockdefinebones will instead use the bone positions of the first frame in the last defined smd/dmx file of the qc for the definebone values.
$Unlockdefinebones will not shuffle the order of the $definebone lines, unlike the studiomdl command -definebones would.
