Finally I could update my dev install to hipster ;)

The main problem seems to be that it is a SunRAY Server and the sunray packages need package  
service/network/dhcp. 
But this package is obsoleted on hipster and it seems that obsoleted packages can not install as incorporate.

Changing facetpkg-a change-facet facet.require.service/network/dhcp=false
# pkg change-facet facet.version-lock.service/network/dhcp=false
or
# pkg change-facet facet.require.service/network/dhcp=false
has no effect.

I solved the problem by 
- set non-sticky the openindiana.org publisher
- create a fake repo and publish there incorporation packages where dependency type is changed to optional, remove the obsoleted flag in dhcp package
# pkgrepo list -s /repos/fake-hipster/
PUBLISHER NAME O VERSION
fake-hipster consolidation/install/install-incorporation 0.5.11,5.11-0.151.1.9:20170108T144721Z
fake-hipster consolidation/ips/ips-incorporation 0.5.11,5.11-0.151.1.9:20170111T153531Z
fake-hipster consolidation/osnet/osnet-incorporation 0.5.11,5.11-0.151.1.9:20170108T132101Z
fake-hipster service/network/dhcp 0.5.11,5.11-2015.0.2.15619:20170113T123056Z
fake-hipster service/network/dhcp 0.5.11,5.11-0.151.1.9:20170106T113837Z
- add the fake-hipster repository to search before openindiana.org publisher
- at first replace (pkg update) the old incorporations with the old fake incorporation (optional dependencies)
- remove the fake repository
- do a normal upgrade to the latest hipster

I guess it would be better that packages not obsoleted but instead replaced (isc-dhcp).
