Hi Christophe,

You can find information about the new packaging system here:

http://opensolaris.org/os/project/pkg/

As for as I know, they don't have the equivalent of 
/var/sadm/install/contents.
However, they do have a way for you to easily search what has been installed
on the system, and what have not.

Hope this helps,
