What's missing.. still some pretty important things.. Here's the rough 
list I'm down to..

sys-cmds/lvm newtask ypcmd ptools ttymon truss initpkg dtrace isns 
modload saf prtconf fs.d dfs.cmds cmd/install.d grub xorg (275 packages) 
icedtea6....

For the existing packages the good thing is all they are directly 
extractable.  So you won't have to delete meta data or worry about 
containers/payload etc.. Just xar + xz and in theory a script that loops 
through them could do the initial install.. The other option is once the 
smart pm file channel is up we can just point the installer at that.. 
define some base package set and from there it's user choice what they 
want to (un)install..


Verbose example - ignorable..

Issue 1
---------------
sys-cmds/lvm
    depends on libxslt
         which depends on libxml
             which depends on libiconv
                 which depends on zlib

When I was on a pure amd64 platform everything was much easier.  When I 
had to go back and repackage a lot of things multilib that's where it 
started getting tricky..

During the libxslt build I hit this..

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link /opt/SUNWspro/prod/bin/cc  -i 
-xO4 -xspace -xstrconst -Kpic -fast -xregs=no%frameptr  -ztext 
-L/usr/lib -R/usr/lib -o xsltproc  xsltproc.o  ../libxslt/libxslt.la 
../libexslt/libexslt.la -L/usr/lib -R/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lpthread 
-liconv -lm -lsocket -lnsl -L/usr/lib -R/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lpthread 
-liconv -lm -lsocket -lnsl -lm

Which results in this..
ld: fatal: file /usr/lib/amd64/libiconv.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

and also the xml2-config --libs including the -L / -R needs to be fixed.

Issue 2
---------------
I have to make a small change to the template so it can handle 
directories with "." dot in the name
fs.d dfs.cmds cmd/install.d
