Yes, beyond, and Smeagol's fate is unknown to us, like any other mortal. Unless his fea managed to linger by the Cracks of Doom lamenting his precious-- I'm not sure if that option's available to mortals. However, I already know what he'd say if he stayed: an endless litany of 'Precious, O my precious,' similar to Maglor's cries as he wandered along the beach. If Smeagol did go on, then as far as I know, there are only two possible entities to meet beyond the circles of Arda: Eru or Morgoth. Morgoth I understand is indisposed to meet visitors, which leaves Eru. It's my definite impression that Eru has something more to do with the gift to mortalkind beyond just decreeing that they go. What would Eru say if they met? Something similar to what was said to Melkor, or something different? What would Smeagol say if he was talking? Would he think of the yellow face by the river or the white face in the night sky? Would he remember Frodo?
