I'm guessing you're running with NWAM enabled.  To tell, run:

% svcs svc:/network/physical

You should get (besides the header) two lines of output, either:

disabled       Jul_16   svc:/network/physical:nwam
online         Jul_16   svc:/network/physical:default

or the reverse: nwam will be online while default is disabled.  Starting
in SXDE 5/07, a Developer Express install will result in the :nwam instance
being enabled by default.  To get a static IP address using NWAM, see:

        http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nwam/phase0/

There is no supported way to specify your MAC address using NWAM Phase 0.
If you want to go back to the /etc/hostname.<interface> file like you had
previously, then disable nwam and enable physical:default.
