Hello.
You'll have (at least) 2 problems.
1) The one you have is easy to solve. Your repository should be first in 
repository list (in  pkg_repo_default_authority section).
2) The second one is that we replace some packages from 
osnet-incorporation (and from repository) - see
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/openindiana/illumos-gate/packages.ignore
and 
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/openindiana/illumos-gate/Makefile#L155 
. You'd like to remove, for example, ssh packages, delivered by 
illumos-gate.

Perhaps, it's easier to use oi-userland reciept to build illumos-gate, 
so that you'll have all OI customizations applied to illumos-gate 
packages and do use oi-userland repository as pkg_repo_default_authority.
