Right.  This is where you'd say

    beadm create new-be
    beadm mount new-be /mnt
    pkg -R /mnt fix ...
    beadm unmount new-be
    beadm activate new-be
    reboot

This creates a clone of the current BE, which is compatible with the
current pkg(5) bits, and won't have the problem of having to modify files
in use.
