I'd suggest you to install mate_install and then remove mate_install
and the following package list:
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/meta-packages/install-types/includes/gnome2 
.
As for removing gnome2 packages, I still haven't experimented with this 
(but will shortly),
after that will write some instructions.
