Yes and I am using 270.41.06 but you need to do something like the
following to install the new driver:

$ pfexec beadm list 
$ pfexec beadm create oi-nvidia 
$ pfexec beadm mount oi-nvidia /mnt 
$ pfexec pkg -R /mnt uninstall -r driver/graphics/nvidia 
$ pfexec /bin/sh NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-270.41.06.run --extract-only 
$ cd NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-270.41.06 
$ pfexec pkgadd -R /mnt -d . NVDAgraphics NVDAgraphicsr 
$ pfexec bootadm update-archive -R /mnt 
$ pfexec beadm unmount -f oi-nvidia 
$ pfexec beadm activate oi-nvidia 
$ pfexec reboot -p
