I have not followed any of the upstream virtualbox mailing lists.
Does anyone know why they publish only a SVR4 package for Solaris?
That package is IPS-aware and checks several IPS dependencies under
Solaris 11.

As far as I can tell, the SVR4 package would have to be converted
to an IPS package, and the various scripts run during pkgadd would
have to be merged in an SMF assembly service.  Some amount of work,
but certainly doable.
