dnsmasq may meet your needs for two of those. It provides a local, forwarding DNS server, 
and can be setup to answer TFTP/BOOTP/DHCP requests as well. I've had luck building
it on OpenIndiana before. The source distribution has a SMF manifest in the contrib/Solaris10
directory.

Hope that helps,
Nathan
