The following worked for me:

$ sudo pkg update --be-name oi-2016-08-17
$ sudo beadm mount oi-2016-08-17 /mnt
$ sudo pkg -R /mnt install pkg:/mate_install
$ sudo pkg -R /mnt uninstall pkg:/mate_install
$ sudo pkg -R /mnt uninstall pkg:/mate_install

Now YOU SHUOLD REMEMBER ABOUT UNMOUNTING NEW BE (I've actually forgot 
about it, see https://www.illumos.org/issues/6464):
$ sudo beadm umount oi-2016-08-17

After reboot I've enabled lightdm and customized new DE a bit, now it 
seems I have decent Mate installation.
Unfortunately, some gnome applications are still required (such as 
rythmbox).
