Currently, the simplest path is:
beadm create <be-name>
beadm mount <be-name> /mnt
pkg -R /mnt install entire at 0.5.11-0.117
bootadm update-archive -R /mnt
beadm umount <be-name>
beadm activate <be-name>
but it only upgrades the bits from your opensolaris.org publisher, and
nothing from /extra, /contrib, etc. You'll have to do those by hand.
