I don't recall seeing it documented, but I have, so far without
noticeable ill-effect, occasionally done:
# pkg unset-publisher openindiana.org
# rm -rf /var/pkg/publisher/openindiana.org
# pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.openindiana.org openindiana.org

Not seen it documented and haven't had the bandwidth to explore
the code, but my WAG is /var/pkg/publisher/ is a cache publisher's
package files to speed the creation of zones.
