> Changing the topic slightly I also setup netbsd's pkgsrc and given it a go - 
similar story. Only a handle will build, many key dependencies won't build. Many 
of those available in the bulk build at 
http://public.enst.fr/pkgsrc/packages/SunOS-5.10/i386/pkgsrc-essentiel-2007Q4n0/ 
I have been unable to build with a recent cvs on pkgsrc (either with Sun studio 
express or gcc). It must come down to differences between the 
solaris10/indiana/Opensol 2008.05 versions. A shame as pkgsrc is officially 
supported for solaris - would be great to see it supported for Opensolaris, 
especially as complied pkgsrc packages can be turned into SVR4 packages. 


FYI:
Some pkgsrc packages was compiled in natif mode on OpenSolaris with a mix of 
Studio12 and gcc.

For the bootstrap:

http://public.enst.fr/pkgsrc/packages/bootstrap-pkgsrc/bootstrap-pkgsrc-SunOS-5.
11-i386-20080328.tar

For few packages:
http://public.enst.fr/pkgsrc/packages/SunOS-5.11/i386/pkgsrc-essentiel-2007Q4n1/

That's a first try, for about  420 packages.
Based on 2007Q4.

That's a hard and long work.
Because of:
 - S11 change. Xorg, gnome, is almost well integrated in S11. pkgsrc don't
   take care of thoses changes and I write some builtin.mk, x11-links, Mesa,...
 - S11 use different tool . Example: libintl msgfmt etc... That's a nightmare
   for some packages.
 - problem with libtool if you choose SunStudio. Some packages want only gcc.
 - etc...

A+
