Right you are, I'm due to upgrade end of month on this system.
Here I was thinking 8.4. Sorry for the spam.

It wasn't created with this in mind, hoping there is still a way?
alter table schema.table SET (autovacuum_enabled = false);
ERROR: unrecognized parameter "autovacuum_enabled"
Close, but it's classed under storage parameters. You'll want to see the SQL reference entry for "CREATE TABLE".
Hrmm.. I think the OP's syntax is correct, but he's probably using a version older than 8.4, when support for per-table autovacuum_enabled was added.
On HEAD:
test=# CREATE TABLE foo (a int);
CREATE TABLE
test=# alter table foo SET ( autovacuum_enabled=false) ;
ALTER TABLE
test=# \d+ foo
Table "public.foo"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Description
--------+---------+-----------+---------+-------------
a | integer | | plain |
Has OIDs: no
Options: autovacuum_enabled=false
