Thank you Till and Alp, with your kind help I was able to build those 
images.

With the userland illumos-gate component it was really easy to build the 
patched illumos and incorporate it to install images. The only other 
thing I had to do was to move userland to pkg_repo_default_authority and 
openindiana.org to pkg_repo_addl_authority, as Alp suggested.
