  Unison arrived in the development repositories in Build 105, and will
  be in the next release.  It's not available for 2008.11 from
  http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release; the working policy around the
  release repositories doesn't allow or encourage publishing new
  packages after the release date has passed.

  There are a few ways to proceed, in order of decreasing safety:

  - switch to the development repositories,

  - use pkgrecv(1) to pull a copy of SUNWunison, modify its
    dependencies to require only Build 101, publish to a private
    repository using pkgsend(1), and install from that private
    repository, or

  - edit the SUNWunison manifest in /var/pkg directly to require only
    Build 101 and reattempt installation.

  I'd recommend the first, of course.
