There are several issues to consider.
1) If build server was updated after 2016.04 release (I don't remember 
exactly, but it's very likely), vim will receive dependency on nwe 
system/library version. And as most illumos-gate-provided packages are 
restricted by osnet-incorporation, you'll have to update the whole system.
2) If you have userland-incorporation installed (and you have it by 
default), it will force specific packages' versions, so you'll have to 
update whole system or relax userland-incorporation 
(http://alp-notes.blogspot.ru/2015/10/userland-incorporation-in-openindiana.html). 

3) If some package was updated and depends on another updated package, 
you'll have to update them both.
